Re: [patch 0/3] Per cpu relocation to ZERO and x86_32 percpu ops on x86_64

you mean this single patch:

modules-fold-percpu_modcopy-into-modulec-and-get-rid-of-the-macro-from-hell.patch

that's the only patch i missed AFAICS.

That is a pretty uncritical one. Then there is the fix of the zero
address handling in modules.c, [...]

modules-handle-symbols-that-have-a-zero-value.patch

[...] the fixup for the use of __per_cpu_xx variables in modules.c.
[...]

modules-include-sectionsh-to-avoid-defining-linker-variables.patch

etc.

such as? I guess these two:

mm-prevent-dereferencing-non-allocated-per_cpu-variables.patch
mm-prevent-dereferencing-non-allocated-per_cpu-variables-fix.patch

would be needed too?
