Hmm.  I think this probably is the right thing, but we'll need to be very 
careful to watch for people defining foo[MAXCPU] in globally visible data 
structures in the kernel in such a way that entries for the non-current CPU 
are referenced by any modules.  A casual glance suggests that, right now, this 
is not generally an issue, but something to watch out for, since we do use 
MAXCPU to size a number of kernel data structures.
