Put one way, putting page-aligned per-cpu data in a separate section is a 
space-saving hack: one which is not really required for modules because of 
the low frequency of such variables.  Put another way, not respecting 
the .data.percpu.shared_aligned section in modules is a bug.

But a comment would probably be nice!

Cheers,
Rusty.
