The patch just removes per_cpu_init() in the non-SMP-case. That would
have to be changed to be in sync with the contig.c per_cpu_init().
Perhaps a better solution would be to disassociate the MCA allocations
from per_cpu_init(). For example, we could have a separate
alloc_per_cpu_mca_data() in {dis,}contig.c.
BTW: can you remind me why you want node-local MCA data? Performance
is probably not an issue. Are you concerned about error-containment,
hot-swap, or something else?
