True... I don't like the general STL feel of that code, TBH. The only thing that stops me from putting all that stuff into a struct and getting rid of those macros from hell is that we'd need to use alloc_percpu() and that means extra overhead, potentially quite painful on the "local" side of those. May be worth experimenting with later, but not at this point in cycle...
