If we need it in cases when array defined in entry/syscall_32.c and
used in entry/common.c, I would respectfully suggest that whatever
we need it for is misguided garbage.  I don't think that LTO does
need it, though.  How is arch/x86/entry/{syscall_32,common}.c
different from e.g. fs/{namespace,d_path}.c, where we have
fs/namespace.c:100:__cacheline_aligned_in_smp DEFINE_SEQLOCK(mount_lock);
and
fs/d_path.c:166:        read_seqbegin_or_lock(&mount_lock, &m_seq);
respectively?
