It ignores undefined addr spaces in the sense that it does nothing
with it. It has no effect on the access to variables in this addr
space. OTOH, the compiler still applies address space checks. I plan
to propose a (RFC?) patch after rc1, once the main part is applied to
the mainline, that enables percpu checks also for clang. It is in
effect just the above couple of lines.
