Nack to the changes to this file, with all due respect :-), since I have conflicting changes in the linux-tile tree that also remove all uses of __get_cpu_var from this file.  Note that there are places in this file where "this_cpu_and", etc., make sense; I don't know if it makes sense for your script to be looking for this kind of thing more generally.

This should be __this_cpu_write(current_asid, asid).  You caught this idiom elsewhere so not sure if it was a script bug that caused it to be missed here?

I would omit the "-1" here and instead change the one test of "depth == 0" to be "depth == 1".

This was ugly before but now it's much worse :-)  Please just split it into an assignment to min_asid, then use __this_cpu_write() with min_asid.  Thanks.

The rest is fine.  Would it make more sense for me to fold all these changes into the tile tree and just have it meet in linux-next?  There are certainly a bunch of other changes staged there which likely also include more uses of __get_cpu_var...
