Allow arches to implement __this_cpu_ptr, and provide an x86 version. Before: movq $foo, %rax movq %gs:this_cpu_off, %rdx addq %rdx, %rax After: movq $foo, %rax addq %gs:this_cpu_off, %rax The benefit is doing it in one less instruction and not clobbering a temporary register. tj: * Beefed up the comment a bit and renamed in-macro temp variable to match neighboring macros. * Folded fix for const pointer case found in linux-next. * Fixed sparse notation.
