Duh a patch did not make it due to XXX in the header.
I will put this also on git.kernel.org slab tree branch cpudata
x86_64: Strip down PDA operations through the use of CPU_XXX operations.
The *_pda operations behave in the same way as the CPU_XX ops. They both access data
that is relative to a segment register. So strip out as much as we can.
What is left after this patchset are some special pda ops for x86_64
or_pda()
test_and_clear_bit_pda()
