Guided by grsecurity's analogous __read_only markings in arch/arm,
this applies several uses of __ro_after_init to structures that are
only updated during __init.

I don't think this x86 file is an arm-specific one :)
Hah, whooops. :)
That minor nit aside, these patches are a great step forward, are you
going to take them and work to push them upstream, or do you want/need
others to do this?
I'll collect more like these and carry a tree for -next and push them for v4.8.
