I am resurrecting an old thread at [1] that tried to introduce named
address spaces in asm/percpu.h. The thread ended with the above
message [2], but no bugreport was ever filled to GCC's bugzilla. Can
please someone from linux  community file a PR with a failing testcase
to GCC Bugzilla, so we (the GCC community) can analyze the problem and
eventually fix the compiler?
