In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Impact: reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.
This is made a little more tricky by uv_flush_tlb_others which
actually alters its argument, for an IPI to be sent to the remaining
cpus in the mask.
I solve this by allocating a cpumask_var_t for this case and falling back
to IPI should this fail.
To eliminate temporaries in the caller, all flush_tlb_others implementations
now do the this-cpu-elimination step themselves.
Note also the curious "cpus_or(f->flush_cpumask, cpumask, f->flush_cpumask)"
which has been there since pre-git and yet f->flush_cpumask is always zero
at this point.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
