Subject: Mark profile notifier blocks __read_mostly
From: Matt Helsley <matthltc@xxxxxxxxxx>


Mark profile notifier blocks __read_mostly since once registered they tend
not to be written.  This seems like a good idea but I'm not yet familiar
enough with the profile paths to be certain.

Compiles, boots, and runs with CONFIG_PROFILING=y and readprofile on a
4-way Opteron running Debian Sarge.
