Tejun Heo 3e5d8f9784 x86: make percpu symbols zerobased on SMP
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding
PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on
the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S.  A new
PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address
zero.  PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which
always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region.

The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address
change.

* code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the
  load address to the gdt_page offset.

* __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area
  is necessary.

* pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero
  value doesn't work anymore.

This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Base percpu
variables at zero" patch.
