    percpu: hack to let the CRIS architecture to boot until they clean up · abee2105

     ("percpu: don't forget to free the temporary struct
    pcpu_alloc_info") uncovered a problem on the CRIS architecture where
    the bootmem allocator is initialized with virtual addresses. Given it
    has:
    
        #define __va(x) ((void *)((unsigned long)(x) | 0x80000000))
    
    then things just work out because the end result is the same whether you
    give this a physical or a virtual address.
    
    Untill you call memblock_free_early(__pa(address)) that is, because
    values from __pa() don't match with the virtual addresses stuffed in the
    bootmem allocator anymore.
    
    Avoid freeing the temporary pcpu_alloc_info memory on that architecture
    until they fix things up to let the kernel boot like it did before.
