I'll look into this more tomorrow. (But yes, __latent_entropy is
absolutely used for globals already, as you found, but this is the first
percpu it was applied to...)

And just another heads-up, the patch[1] (which was never sent to a public
list) also breaks arm64 (circular header needs?):

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ARCH=arm64 defconfig
...
$ make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ARCH=arm64
...
