clang error makes sense to me.
What does it even mean to do addr space cast from percpu to normal address:

__typeof__(int __seg_gs) const_pcpu_hot;
void *__attribute____UNIQUE_ID___addressable_const_pcpu_hot612 =
    (void *)(long)&const_pcpu_hot;

I'm curious what kind of code gcc generates.

In bpf backend we have the concept of address spaces and there are explicit
instructions generated to convert from one addr space to another.
