Subject[PATCH] percpu: fix DEBUG_PREEMPT per_cpu checking
2.6.25-rc1 percpu changes broke CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT's per_cpu checking
on several architectures. On s390, sparc64 and x86 it's been weakened to
not checking at all; whereas on powerpc64 it's become too strict, issuing
warnings from __raw_get_cpu_var in io_schedule and init_timer for example.

Fix this by weakening powerpc's __my_cpu_offset to use the non-checking
local_paca instead of get_paca (which itself contains such a check);
and strengthening the generic my_cpu_offset to go the old slow way via
smp_processor_id when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT (debug_smp_processor_id is
where all the knowledge of what's correct when lives).

I posted this a couple of weeks ago, but it seems we all expected
someone else to forward it to you.
