ia64: on UP percpu variables are not small memory model
Tony says: | The CONFIG_SMP=n path in ia64 makes quite radical changes ... rather | than putting all the per-cpu stuff into the top 64K of address space | and providing a per-cpu TLB mapping for that range to a different | physical address ... it just makes all the per-cpu stuff link as ordinary | variables in .data. the new generic percpu code got confused about this as PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES was defined even on UP, so it picked up that small memory model - which was not possible to get linked. The right fix is to only define that on SMP. This resolved the build failures in my cross-compiling environment. also link these variables into the .percpu section even on UP - some assembly code has offset dependencies.
