Christoph Lameter 6c036527a6 [PATCH] mostly_read data section 
Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read
frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc.

If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read
items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated.  In that
case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines
again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables.

The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system
to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing
performance.
