[PATCH v4 1/2] x86: Define early read-mostly per-cpu macros

[Vlad Zolotarov]

Some read-mostly per-cpu data may need to be declared or defined early,
so it can be initialized and accessed before per_cpu areas are
allocated.

Only the data that resides in the per_cpu areas should be read-mostly,
as there is little benefit in optimizing cache lines on initialization.
