The workaround was incorrectly documented as having something to do with
set_pcpu section's progbits, but in fact it was for incorrect placement
of __start_set_pcpu because of the bug in ld.
The bug was fixed in r210245, see commit message for details.
A side-effect of the workaround was that a zero-size set_pcpu section was
produced for modules, source code of which included pcpu.h but didn't
actually define any dynamic per-cpu variables.
This commit should remove the side-effect.
The same workaround is present sys/net/vnet.h, has an analogous side-effect
and can be removed as well.
An UPDATING entry that warns about a need for recent ld is following.

defer-mode cancellation works, asynchrnous mode does not work because
it lacks of libuwind's support. stack unwinding is not enabled unless
LIBTHR_UNWIND_STACK is defined in Makefile.
include/mmuvar.h - Change the MMU_DEF macro to also create the class
definition as well as define the DATA_SET. Add a macro, MMU_DEF_INHERIT,
which has an extra parameter specifying the MMU class to inherit methods
from. Update the comments at the start of the header file to describe the
new macros.

aim/mmu_oea64.c - Collapse mmu_def_t declaration into updated MMU_DEF macro
The MMU_DEF_INHERIT macro will be used in the PS3 MMU implementation to
allow it to inherit the stock powerpc64 MMU methods.

use of bogus parameters for DMA tag creation) is not fatal, it just means
that no additional DVMA space will be preallocated.
to handle current timecounter wraps. Make kern_clocksource.c to honor that
requirement, scheduling sleeps on first CPU for no more then specified
period. Allow other CPUs to sleep up to 1/4 second (for any case).
Do not explicitly enable interrupts in smp_init_secondary() because it
renders any spinlock protected code after that point to run with
interrupts enabled. This is because the processor is executing in the
context of idlethread whose 'md_spinlock_count' is already set to 1.
Instead just let sched_throw() re-enable interrupts when it releases
the spinlock.

The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address
selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).
The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3,
the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484,
respectively. When "AUTO" is specified, it attempts to read
/etc/ip6addrctl.conf first. If it is found, it reads and installs it as
a policy table. If not, either of the two pre-defined policy tables is
chosen automatically according to $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
When $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO, interfaces which have no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is marked as IFDISABLED for security reason.
The default values are ip6addrctl_policy=AUTO and
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO.
