Andrew, can we settle on what to do with that patch? If you don't like me
putting __read_mostly in xen/cache.h (consistent with __ro_after_init),
would you please make an alternative suggestion? Personally I don't really
understand why that patch hasn't long gone in. If further reorg is wanted,
it can always be done subsequently. In whatever adjustments to the patch
you want me to make to get past your objection, please make sure that it
doesn't end up scope creeping.
