sections: disable const sections for PA-RISC v2

Browse source 
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.
