Of the 10 EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL and 4 EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL_GPL
items on ia64, only __sn_cnodeid_to_nasid and softirq_work_list are
arrays.  The latter appears not to be actually used by any in-tree
modules (janitors: does it need to be exported?).

The CRC warning only shows up on a module that uses an exported
per-cpu array.  There seems to be nothing special about the
__sn_cnodeid_to_nasid.  When I hacked a module to make a random
use of softirq_work_list, it too gave a CRC error.

I just tried an x86_64 build with a module also modified to access
softirq_work_list.  It did NOT get a CRC error.  So the x86_64
toolchain doesn't seem to have the same issue as ia64.
