[PATCH v2 5/6] percpu: Repurpose __percpu tag as a named address space qualifier

[Uros Bizjak]

The patch introduces per_cpu_qual define and repurposes __percpu
tag as a named address space qualifier using the new define.

Arches can now conditionally define __per_cpu_qual as their
named address space qualifier for percpu variables.
