Why have this pointer?

they should, perf is initialized from sched_init() [ I really should
move it into init/main.c some time ], which is after mm_init(), which
should be sufficient for all allocators to work.

Oh, wait, I ran into this a few days ago, the arch specific init call
actually runs before the main perf init, which is mightly strange, I
have this hunk (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/9/530):

To cure that.


That said, why not simply:
kmalloc_node(sizeof(struct intel_percore)), GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO,
cpu_to_node(cpu))
For each core, just like amd_alloc_nb() does. The amd code even frees
the allocation on cpu-hot-unplug of after all relevant cpus are gone.
