move it after page-aligned section can't guarantee to avoid cache false sharing.
we need:
. = ALIGN(CACHE_LINE_SIZE);
*(.data..percpu..readmostly)
. = ALIGN(CACHE_LINE_SIZE);
To make sure before/after readmostly section doesn't share cache line with
others. The headcache is some arch need L1_CACHE_SIZE and others need
(1 << INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT). We need change all ARCHs to make this happen.
