The size has been arbitrarily changed to 16*nr_vcpus :) .

Going through the series, it looks like this list is either empty
(before the cache init) or has a fixed number
(LPI_DEFAULT_PCPU_CACHE_SIZE * nr_cpus) of entries. And the list never
grows nor shrinks throughout the series, so it seems odd to be using a
list here.

Is there a reason for not using a dynamically allocated array instead of
the list? (does list_move() provide a big perf advantage over swapping
the data from one array entry to another? Or is there some other
facility I am missing?

Cheers,
