The first chunk is allocated using\nembedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that\nthe new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator\nas long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn\u0027t\nintroduce much breakage.\n\ns390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing\nrange limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks\nif the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two\narchs aren\u0027t converted.\n\nThe following architectures are affected by this change.\n\n* sh\n* arm\n* cris\n* mips\n* sparc(32)\n* blackfin\n* avr32\n* parisc (broken, under investigation)\n* m32r\n* powerpc(32)\n\nAs this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,\nCONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -\nCONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted\narchs.
