Following patch moves a few static 'read mostly' variables to the
.data.read_mostly section. Typically these are vector - irq tables,
boot_cpu_data, node_maps etc., which are initialized once and read from
often and rarely written to. Please include.
Good candidates for read_mostly are all the 'kmem_cache_t *xxx_cache'
slab was carefuly designed to eliminate cache line ping pongs on SMP, but if
the initial pointer to slab sits in a heavily modified cache line, we loose.
