Kernel: Add mechanism to make some memory read-only after init finishes

Browse source 
You can now use the READONLY_AFTER_INIT macro when declaring a variable
and we will put it in a special ".ro_after_init" section in the kernel.

Data in that section remains writable during the boot and init process,
and is then marked read-only just before launching the SystemServer.

This is based on an idea from the Linux kernel. :^)
