Yes, this conditionality:

struct percpu_counter {
spinlock_t lock;
s64 count;
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
struct list_head list; /* All percpu_counters are on a list */
#endif
s32 *counters;
};

mucked up our nice scheme. Oh well.

compute_batch_value() can be __cpuinit, but I think we're close enough
here ;)
