Bagas, this is talking about a per-cpu variable.  Variables don't
"return" things, functions do.

I also have a request: I'd really appreciate if you could avoid
reviewing x86-related documentation.  The review comments that I've seen
coming from you have not helped x86 documentation.  They've hurt the
patches more than they have helped.
