Impact for m68knommu:
- The table is now stored in .data instead of .text,
Do you mean .rodata ?
- Removed unused padding at the end of the table.

Not tested on m68knommu
Questions:
- Why was it .text?
Probably because it is constanti (read-only).
Yes, I suspect that was the original thinking. It has been that way
for a very long time (it is in .text in the 2.4 kernel patches for
this too).
I will test them on m68knommu today, I am sure moving to .data (really
rodata) will be fine.
