Hi,

This has not been a problem before, because producers of DATA_SET()'s 
were using syntax along these lines:

static int test2;
static int test3;

DATA_SET(test, test2);
DATA_SET(test, test3);

Now if you change this simple code to:

static int test2;
int test3;

DATA_SET(test, test2);
DATA_SET(test, test3);

It breaks on powerpc64. Should be very easy to reproduce.

The problem with SYSCTL's is that some are global and some are not. 
Before an indirect pointer was hiding this problem from appearing.

Do you see? Or do you want me to explain more.
