Subject[PATCH 4/5] parisc: use new macro for .data.read_mostly section.
Date
.data.read_mostly should not need a separate output section; this
change moves it into the .data section.

I used alignment L1_CACHE_BYTES instead of 16 since the whole point is
for read-mostly data to have different cache lines than other stuff.
