Subject: [PATCH] x86/x86_64: mark rodata section read-only: make some
 datastructures const

Mark some key kernel datastructures readonly.  This patch was previously
posted on Jun 28th but was back then not merged because nothing was enforcing
rodata anyway..  well that changed now :)

Patch by Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> and Dave Jones
