So this_cpu_ptr() is the one with the check, and __this_cpu_ptr() is the
one without. But for the other this_cpu ops __this_cpu_$OP() is going to
be the one with a check and this_cpu_$OP() the one without?

Sounds like a bloody marvelous idea :/

How about re-using debug_smp_processor_id() instead?
