+ * Optional methods for optimized non-lvalue per-cpu variable access.
+ *
+ * @var can be a percpu variable or a field of it and its size should
+ * equal char, int or long.  percpu_read() evaluates to a lvalue and
+ * all others to void.
+ *
+ * These operations are guaranteed to be atomic w.r.t. preemption.
+ * The generic versions use plain get/put_cpu_var().  Archs are
+ * encouraged to implement single-instruction alternatives which don't
+ * require preemption protection.
