It includes: - the most recent patch to compute the appropriate amount of percpu space to allocate, using a separate reservation for modules where needed. - make the percpu sections page-aligned, so that percpu variables can be page aligned if needed (which is used by gdt_page) - page-align the gdt - remove the pda and convert all pda usages into percpu variables (percpu variables still use the %fs prefix mechanism the pda used) - some improvements to asm-i386/percpu.h to make asm access to percpu variables easy - define per_cpu_offset in asm-i386/percpu.h, to match asm-generic/ Thanks, J --
