OK, that initcall patch hit -tip and Ingo wants that allocation stuff
fixed up before committing those patches.

Could you run another version of these patches (you can ignore the
checkpatch output that results from the non-std struct initialization

Just make the allocation path like the AMD NB stuff, use the cpu_prepare
and cpu_dead hooks to alloc/free and add a refcount in the percpu
object.
