Subject: x86/idt: Mark IDT tables __initconst
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 327867faa4d66628fcd92a843adb3345736a5313 upstream.
const variables must use __initconst, not __initdata.
Fix this up for the IDT tables, which got it consistently wrong.
Fixes: 16bc18d895ce ("x86/idt: Move 32-bit idt_descr to C code")
