[IA64] __per_cpu_idtrs[] is a memory hog
__per_cpu_idtrs is statically allocated ... on CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4096
systems it hogs 16MB of memory. This is way too much for a quite
probably unused facility (only KVM uses dynamic TR registers).
Change to an array of pointers, and allocate entries as needed on
a per cpu basis. Change the name too as the __per_cpu_ prefix is
confusing (this isn't a classic <linux/percpu.h> type object).
