The patches can reduce cache line access in SMP and reduce alignment gap waste. The patches also define PERCPU macro for vmlinux.lds.S for concise code.

For some reason arm exploded.

/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnu-ld:arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:327: parse error

   *(.con_initcall.init)
  __con_initcall_end = .;
  __security_initcall_start = .;
   *(.security_initcall.init)
  __security_initcall_end = .;

  . = ALIGN(32);
  __initramfs_start = .;

  __initramfs_end = .;

  . = ALIGN(4096); __per_cpu_start = .; .data.percpu : AT(ADDR(.data.percpu) - 0) { *(.data.percpu) *(.data.percpu.shared_cacheline_aligned) } __per_cpu_end = .;






 }

Seems I don't have the latest version any more so I'll drop it.
