Agreed, it would be nice. However, x86 requires it to be declared in the
middle of asm/percpu.h (ie: in asm-generic/percpu.h). I'm trying to sort it
out, but it's like trying to juggle hyperdimensional spaghetti:-/ How much
header file overhaul do you wish to indulge in? And can I split some headers
into separate headers for declarations and inline functions?
