The above variable is statically defined in the kernel, but the
'xen_vcpu_info' is also a static variable, why does the former not
work on arm machines, but the latter works well? Could you please
explain more details?
[linux]$ grep -nr "xen_vcpu_info" *
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c:51:static struct vcpu_info __percpu *xen_vcpu_info;

Thanks.
