It probably applies to amd64.  Also, simplifying the amount of code the macros 
generate can reduce compile time.  That is why Peter added __curthread() so 
that all the curthread references did not have to compile a fully expanded 
PCPU_GET() macro each time.  It gave a noticable reduction in kernel compile 
time.
