Bah. Please add a new line between the DEFINE... and the function.

But that whole thing is wrong. The per cpu default closid and rmid want to
be in a single place, not in two distinct per cpu variables.

struct rdt_cpu_default {
       u32      rmid;
       u32      closid;
};

DEFINE_PER_CPU_READ_MOSTLY(struct rdt_cpu_default, rdt_cpu_default);

or something like this. That way it's guaranteed that the context switch
code touches a single cache line for the per cpu defaults.

Thanks,
