    percpu: make the asm-generic/percpu.h more "generic" · acdac872

    - add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES
    
    - fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro.
    
    Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override
    several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic
    percpu.h for all arches.
    
    An arch may define:
    
    __per_cpu_offset	Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must
    			define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390).
    
    __my_cpu_offset		Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine
    			the offset for variables of the currently executing
    			processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390.
    
    SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset)	If an arch defines it then special handling
    			of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used
    			by s/390.
    
    (Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated
    so that there are less cases to deal with.)
