So ci_cpu_cacheinfo is a function? AFAICT it's a struct.

Why a define and not an inline? &per_cpu should be per_cpu_ptr ....
And a define is not a function either and certainly that whole thing has
nothing to do with an export.
Furthermore $subject talks about some functions. I still have to see one.
It's an art to get a onliner patch screwed up in more than one way so
badly.
No bisquit!
