Here's an updated patch with your suggestions applied (but with .align 16,
to have it cacheline aligned), like so

.section .rodata.cst16, "M", @progbits, 16
.align 16

Bootstrapped on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

Ok for mainline?  (I'll wait until someone looks at / approves Zdeneks
patch to utilize these functions)

Thanks,
Richard.
