Introduce and use a per-CPU read-mostly sub-section
Since mixing data that only gets setup once and then (perhaps frequently) gets read by remote CPUs with data that the local CPU may modify (again, perhaps frequently) still causes undesirable cache protocol related bus traffic, separate the former class of objects from the latter. These objects converted here are just picked based on their write-once (or write-very-rarely) properties; perhaps some more adjustments may be desirable subsequently. The primary users of the new sub-section will result from the next patch. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>
