Log:
  Introduce __read_frequently
  
  While __read_mostly groups variables together, their placement is not
  specified. In particular 2 frequently used variables can end up in
  different lines.
  
  This annotation is only expected to be used for variables read all the time,
  e.g. on each syscall entry.
