I think we're agreeing here.
The current kmalloc_percpu() is a wrapper around kmalloc. That seems OK to me.
What we _do_ want to solve is the problem that DEFINE_PERCPU() does not work in modules. Rusty's patch (reworked to not alter kmalloc_percpu) would suit that requirement.
(kiran has a new version of kmalloc_percpu() which may be faster than the current one, but for the purposes of this discussion it's equivalent).
