It probably applies to amd64. Also, simplifying the amount of code the macros generate can reduce compile time. That is why Peter added __curthread() so that all the curthread references did not have to compile a fully expanded PCPU_GET() macro each time. It gave a noticable reduction in kernel compile time. -- John Baldwin
