Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
variables.  To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.

Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).

tj: * Updated to convert stuff which were missed by or added after the
      original patch.

    * Kill per_cpu_var() macro.

<title>percpu: make percpu symbols in ia64 unique</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch updates percpu related symbols in ia64 such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.  This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

* arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c: s/cpu_info/ia64_cpu_info/

Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

<title>[IA64] implement ticket locks for Itanium</title>

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks
for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836).

IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the
available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction
that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use
a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values.

Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous
implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the
contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in
the noise.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

With the unionfs patch applied I get

ERROR: "copy_page" [fs/unionfs/unionfs.ko] undefined!

the other architectures (some, at least) export copy_page() so I guess ia64
should also do so.

To do this we need to move the copy_page() functions out of lib.a and into
built-in.o and add the EXPORT_SYMBOL().
