Moving it causes it to land in the writable data section of the binary.

Paolo says: This patch fixes a oops on startup, which can be easily
triggered by compiling with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled, and STATIC_LINK either
disabled or enabled.  The resulting kernel will always Oops on startup,

shows up on BitKeeper revisions in the range [@1.1994.11.168,+inf), i.e.
starting from this:
