Hi,
It is a good question.
I checked about i386. __per_cpu_data_end - __per_cpu_start is smaller
than 4K, but PERCPU_SHIFT is 13 (it is common both x86_32 and x86_64).
Oops.
I will consider more.
Thanks

The patch looks OK. But just for sanity's sake, is it guaranteed that
the per_cpu data section will be greater than 4k on both architectures?
Or could there be some combination of xen CONFIG options that could
reduce the i386 per_cpu data section contents to less than 4K even though
PERCPU_SHIFT is 13?
