Could we find a better place to put this?

__read_mostly is just a section.  It's relationship to the cache is only
microarchitectural, and is not the same kind of information as the rest
of cache.h

__ro_after_init is only here because __read_mostly is here, but has
absolutely nothing to do with caches whatsoever.

If we're cleaning them up, they ought to live elsewhere.
