Meaning that other platforms need to implement this,
big deal :)

I do agree that the implementor of __read_mostly should
have just let the build break instead so folks could
simply be forced to fix things up.

It's actually a trivial change, and the author therefore
could also have updated all the platform's vmlinux.lds.S files
instead of ifdef'ing this stuff.
