Subject: Const section fixes tree sweep

This tree sweep fixes up const section conflicts. Each section can 
either be read-write or read-only. Read-only sections can contain
only read-only (const) data, read-write only non const data.

This fixes this everywhere for x86 at least (and a few other
places found by grep) 

The previous version had some issues with a broken PA-RISC
toolchain. I disabled the whole thing on PA-RISC now instead.

Needed for followon patchkits.
