Subject: [PATCH] initconst adjustments
- add .init.rodata to INIT_DATA, and group all initconst flavors
together
- move strings generated from __setup_param() into .init.rodata
- add .*init.rodata to modpost's sets of init sections
- make modpost warn about references between meminit and cpuinit
as well as memexit and cpuexit sections (as CPU and memory
hotplug are independently selectable features)
