As our SMP implementation uses MESI protocols. Grouping together data which is mostly only read together means that we avoid unnecessary cache line bouncing when this code shares a cache line with other data. In other words, cache lines associated with read-mostly data are expected to spend most of their time in shared state. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
