[PATCH 3/3] arm64: kernel: declare cpu_ops __read_mostly

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Wed Aug 10 2016 - 14:19:53 EST


cpu_ops is initialized once by cpu_read_ops(), and thereafter is mostly
read in hot path, such as arm_cpuidle_suspend().

The fact that it is mostly read and not written to makes it candidates
for __read_mostly declarations.
