No, that thread doesn't explain it. From an initial look I think
two-stage expansion is still necessary, but it could then be
_ ## name on the first and per_cpu ## name on the second (i.e.
no double underscore in the middle anymore). Of course there may
be reasons why we actually _want_ a double underscore there.
