(What makes this arch specific? arm64 has its own calls like this for the regular vmap
stacks because it plays tricks with the alignment. Here the alignment requirement comes
from the core SCS code... Would another architecture implement these
scs_alloc_percpu()/scs_free_percpu() differently?)


Thanks,
