Before someone asks, it is valid to declare a pointer as 'read

hash table pointers and kmem_cache pointers are setup at boot time, so
they are perfect candidates to 'read_mostly' section. Same apply for
'struct vfsmount *'
Yes... why wouldn't it be if the variable is only written to once? This
is _exactly_ what __read_mostly section is for, isn't it?
Patch looks good though.
