	As long as there is no other non-const variable marked __initdata in the same compilation unit it doesn't hurt. If there were one however compilation would fail with error: $variablename causes a section type conflict because a section containing const variables is marked read only and so cannot contain non-const variables.

2011-03-22	kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right	Alexey Dobriyan
	1. simple_strto() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.
