sections: disable const sections for PA-RISC v2
The PA-RISC tool chain seems to have some problem with correct
read/write attributes on sections. This causes problems when the const
sections are fixed up for other architecture to only contain truly
read-only data.
Disable const sections for PA-RISC
This can cause a bit of noise with modpost.
