[PATCH] More __read_mostly variables
Move some more frequently read variables that showed up during some of our
performance tests as sometimes ending up in hot cachelines to the
read_mostly section.
Fix: Move the __read_mostly from before hpet_usec_quotient to follow the
variable like the other uses of __read_mostly.
