Hello all, - make pm_idle_save, nocst and bm_history __read_mostly - static first_run is initialized to 0 by default already - don't remove static init value of nocst and bm_history since __read_mostly may be special (see e.g. http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0010.0/0771.html) Patch tested on 2.6.17-rc1-mm2, rediffed against 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.
