2.6.32-stable percpu fixes



These commits included in 2.6.32.12:

ea0a09acd81c6d52c77d80f0d4089795df7bcb58 "modules: fix incorrect percpu usage"
d150a2b96558a7349cbf3a72a279c37bc67d50fb "module: fix __module_ref_addr()"

apparently caused regressions, and have been reverted in SLE 11.1 and
Debian unstable.

The second has also now been reverted in 2.6.32.14, but the first has
not.  I'm afraid I don't understand the problems they were trying to
solve, or the problems they caused, so could someone explain why the
first should or not should not be reverted in 2.6.32-stable?

(Matthieu previously asked whether it was really correct for 2.6.32:
