Currently, in xmon, there is no obvious way to get an address for a percpu symbol for a particular cpu. Having such an ability would be good for debugging the system when percpu variables got involved.
Therefore, this patch introduces a new xmon command "lp" to lookup the address for percpu symbols. Usage of "lp" is similar to "ls", except that we could add a cpu number to choose the variable of which cpu we want to lookup. If no cpu number is given, lookup for current cpu.
