+ * PERCPU_VADDR - define output section for percpu area
+ * @vaddr: explicit base address (optional)
+ * @phdr: destination PHDR (optional)
+ *
+ * Macro which expands to output section for percpu area.  If @vaddr
+ * is not blank, it specifies explicit base address and all percpu
+ * symbols will be offset from the given address.  If blank, @vaddr
+ * always equals @laddr + LOAD_OFFSET.
+ *
+ * @phdr defines the output PHDR to use if not blank.  Be warned that
+ * output PHDR is sticky.  If @phdr is specified, the next output
+ * section in the linker script will go there too.  @phdr should have
+ * a leading colon.
+ *
+ * Note that this macros defines __per_cpu_load as an absolute symbol.
+ * If there is no need to put the percpu section at a predetermined
+ * address, use PERCPU().
