From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> The PA-RISC tool chain seems to have some problem with correct read/write attributes on sections. This causes problems when the const sections are fixed up for other architecture to only contain truly read-only data.
Disable const sections for PA-RISC This can cause a bit of noise with modpost.
