The SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() returns a pointer used by a number of functions that expect the pointer to be __percpu annotated (sparse address space 3). Adding __percpu to this makes the following sparse warnings go away.
Note, this then creates the problem the __percup is marked as noderef, which may need removing for some of the internal functions, or to remove other warnings. mm/vmstat.c:385:13: warning: incorrect
