Subject: [3.7-rc6/perf,x86] Build failure at p6_pmu declaration.

Commit caaa8be3 "perf, x86: Fix __initconst vs const" causes

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_p6.c:200: error: p6_pmu causes a section type conflict
  make[3]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_p6.o] Error 1

error. Patching

  -static __initconst const struct x86_pmu p6_pmu = {
  +static __initconst struct x86_pmu p6_pmu = {

solved the error. But is this rather a compiler bug? I'm using gcc 3.3.5.
