The intended use is to annotate frequently used globals which either rarely change (and thus can be grouped in the same cacheline) or are an atomic counter (which means it may benefit from being the only variable in the cacheline). Linker script support is provided only for amd64. Architectures without it risk having other variables put in, i.e. as if they were not annotated. This is harmless from correctness point of view.
