Here's a patchset to enable networking mibs to use kmalloc_percpu instead
of the traditional padded NR_CPUS arrays.

Advantages:
1. Removes NR_CPUS bloat due to static definition
2. Can support node local allocation
3. Will work with modules

I totally support this work. Once the kmalloc percpu bits hit
Linus's tree, just retransmit these diffs to me privately and
I'll put them into my net-2.5 tree.

Thanks.
