Impact for m68knommu:
   - The table is now stored in .data instead of .text,

Do you mean .rodata ?

   - Removed unused padding at the end of the table.

Not tested on m68knommu

Questions:
   - Why was it .text?

Probably because it is constanti (read-only).

Yes, I suspect that was the original thinking. It has been that way
for a very long time (it is in .text in the 2.4 kernel patches for
this too).

I will test them on m68knommu today, I am sure moving to .data (really
rodata) will be fine.
