Cool.  So, in grsec they use a GCC plugin to make these const
automatically since they only contain function pointers.  There about
100 struct types marked as __no_const.  Kees would like to adopt the
grsec pluggin approach I expect.  Do you have an idea how many structs
only contain function pointers or how many consts we would have to add
to get the same effect without the plugin?

dan carpenter
