The patch titled
x86_64: bring back __read_mostly support
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
x86_64-bring-back-__read_mostly-support.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
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
