It looks like x86, powerpc and sparc implement their own
setup_per_cpu_areas(). I had a quick look on finding some commonalities
but I think it's a lot more hassle to make a generic version out of them
(powerpc looks the simplest though). I think we could add a generic
variant with the arm64 support and later migrate other architectures to
it if possible.

The patch looks ok to me otherwise but I'd need an ack from Greg as it
touches drivers/.

BTW, do we need something similar for the non-NUMA
setup_per_cpu_areas()? I can see this patch only enables
NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK if NUMA.

Leaving the rest of the patch below for Greg.
