Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Fix MSPEC driver to build for non SN2 enabled configs as the driver should
work in cached and uncached modes (no fetchop) on these systems. In
addition make MSPEC select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR, which is required for
it and move it to arch/ia64/Kconfig to avoid warnings on non ia64
architectures running allmodconfig. Once the Kconfig code is fixed, we can
move it back.

Implement the special memory driver (mspec) based on the do_no_pfn
approach. The driver is currently used only on SN2 hardware with special
fetchop support but could be beneficial on other architectures using the
uncached mode.
