From 9c2e08c592cd357a8330c34def1e8ecfdcf53275 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:55:37 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 9

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
