Funky, how does accessing other CPU's per-cpu variables work on ia64
then? Perhaps I made some false assumptions. Unfortunately I have no
access to any IA64 machines, so I either have to yank the ia64 bits
(which is unfortunate, since Alan tests on those :-) or rely on a bit of
help from you and/or others in getting that bit right.
