This could possibly be a comment in systbl.c as well?

What's happened to arch/powerpc/kernel/syscall.c? We have
approximately the same type defined there with the same name.
That can just use your new type AFAIKS.

We're hopefully solving the rodata thing separately, so long
as you've got the const there that's enough.

Other than that,
