'entries'? It's a mc_debug_data's copy of mc_buffer's entries.

Also, would it be better to keep these fields as a struct of scalars and 
instead have the percpu array of this struct? Otherwise there is a whole 
bunch of [MC_BATCH] arrays, all of them really indexed by the same 
value. (And while at it, there is no reason to have callbacks[MC_BATCH] 
sized like that -- it has nothing to do with batch size and can probably 
be made smaller)

How about (I think this should work):

static struct mc_debug_data __percpu *mc_debug_data __refdata = 
&mc_debug_data_early;
Then you won't need get_mc_debug_ptr().
