From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@...ell.com>

Subject: [PATCH] x86: move various CPU initialization objects into
.cpuinit.rodata
Impact: debuggability and micro-optimization
Putting whatever is possible into the (final) .rodata section increases
the likelihood of catching memory corruption bugs early, and reduces
false cache line sharing.
