The memory used by '__init' functions can be freed once the initialization
phase has been performed.
Mark some 'static const' array defined and used within some '__init'
functions as '__initconst', so that the corresponding data can also be
discarded.
Without '__initconst', the data are put in the .rodata section.
With the qualifier, they are put in the .init.rodata section.
With gcc 8.3.0, the following changes have been measured:
Without '__initconst':
section size
.rodata
00000720
.init.rodata
00000018
With '__initconst':
section size
.rodata
00000660
.init.rodata
00000058
