Subject: x86/Sandy Bridge: mark arrays in __init functions as __initconst

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <[email protected]>

commit 91c90db1aa92a50fa1d7f289502b49ddb46a90d3 upstream.

commit ab3cd8670e0b3fcde7f029e1503ed3c5138e9571 upstream.

Mark static arrays as __initconst so they get removed when the init
sections are flushed.
