The patch titled
x86_64: bring back __read_mostly support
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
x86_64-bring-back-__read_mostly-support.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Eric Dumazet <dada1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
It seems latest kernel (2.6.17-rc2) has a wrong/missing __read_mostly
implementation for x86_64
__read_mostly macro should be declared outside of #if CONFIG_X86_VSMP block
