Right now we allocate a cacheline sized NR_CPUS array for xics IPI communication. Since irq_stat is now PowerPC specific and using DECLARE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED (which should mean remote writes to this should not conflict with other per cpu data), we can put it in there.
On a kernel with NR_CPUS=1024, this saves quite a lot of memory: text data bss dec hex filename 8767779 2944260 1505724 13217763 c9afe3 vmlinux.irq_cpustat 8767555 2813444 1505724 13086723 c7b003 vmlinux.xics A saving of around 128kB.
