I haven't really looked through it but wouldn't it be possible to
ifdef it.  ie. if cacheline macro is available, align it to it;
otherwise, don't.  And, ultimately, the correct thing to do is making
it cacheline aligned on all archs.  There can be several different
ways to get there but it might just as well be making cacheline size
available in all archs first and then update the PERCPU macro.

Thank you.
