In preparation of moving the CIF flags from lowcore to pcpu_devices, convert the pcpu_devices array to use the percpu infrastructure. This is required because using the pcpu_devices array as it is would introduce a performance penalty due to the fact that CPU flags for multiple CPUs would end up in the same cacheline. Note that a pointer to the pcpu struct of the IPL CPU is still required. This is because a restart interrupt can be triggered on an offline CPU. s390 stores the percpu offset in lowcore, but offline CPUs have no lowcore area allocated. So percpu data cannot be used from an offline CPU and we need to get the pcpu pointer for the IPL cpu from somewhere else.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
