[patch 00/14] Per cpu code simplification

This patchset simplifies the code that arches need to maintain to support
per cpu functionality. Most of the code is moved into arch independent
code. Only a set of minimal definitions is kept for each arch.

The patch also unifies the x86 arch so that there is only a single
asm-x86/percpu.h
