What other trouble? It works fine.

Somehow you performed a mind wipe to get rid of all memory of the earlier messages?

Percpu on i386 hasn't been a point of discussion. It works fine, and has been working fine for a long time. The same mechanism would work fine on x86-64. Its only "issue" is that it doesn't support the broken gcc abi for stack-protector.

The problem is all zero-based percpu on x86-64.
