Currently, SoC code can not add const qualifier to smp_operations
structures although they are never over-written.

01/18 and 02/18 add small changes to the ARM core to fix that.
The rest of this series replace "__initdata" with "const ... __initconst"
for each of SoC code.

I split this series into per-SoC so that each sub-arch maintainer
can easily give their Acked-by.  (Is this better?)
When you split, chances are each sub-arch maintainer will apply
instead of ack. If that's what you want, that's fine.
Russell, Olof, and Arnd:

How should this series be applied (if it looks good)?
The first two are ARM-tree wide and looks like in the field of Russell.
The rest are highly SoC-related.
Easiest of all would probably be to get the sub-arch patches into one
release, then switch the prototypes and function definitions in the
next. If you switch prototypes first you'll get a bunch of warnings,
right?
