3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
commit 5e427ec2d066b48a5c27b3a5a3315f7e4e729077 upstream.
In commit 78d77df71510 ("x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardware") we added the early_pmd_flags that gets the NX bit set when a CPU supports NX. However, the new variable was marked __initdata, because the main _use_ of this is in an __init routine.
However, the bit setting happens from secondary_startup_64(), which is called not only at bootup, but on every secondary CPU start. Including resuming from STR and at CPU hotplug time. So the value cannot be __initdata.
