I now dropped the wrong annotations. So two patches became obsolete
(mtd and percpu). Note that I also dropped fixing the position of
__initdata if changing it to __initconst was wrong. (I think if
__initdata is placed before the variable name it doesn't have any
effect.)

I didn't promote the Acks I got because all acked changes changed in v2.

For the details changed in each patch see the changelogs in the
respective patch mails that I follow up to this mail.

Thanks
Uwe
