I've been looking at it and don't think allowing percpu allocator to be called from no io path is a good idea. The on-demand area filling is tied into vmalloc area management which in turn is tied to arch page table code and I really want to avoid pre-allocating full chunk - it can be huge. I'm trying to extend mempool to cover percpu areas, so please wait a bit.
