:Anyway, GCC actually does have an extension that addresses this
:problem.  See "Labeled Elements in Initializers" in the info pages.
:Note, this extension should NOT be used, in my opinion.

    I'm going to clarify the situation by comitting a separation of
    SYSINIT to SYSINIT ( for void * stuff ) and C_SYSINIT ( for const void *
    stuff ).  However, they will use the same structure and thus will
    not address the warning at all.  This is simply a clarification of
    the problem.  This is in sys/kernel.h, of course.  The auxillary
    macros, such as in sys/vnode.h, simply use the 'correct' *SYSINIT
    macro.

    What we need is a solution for C_SYSINIT that allows the const void *
    callback and data case through without warning, but does not allow
    the void * callback and data case.  Just as the current SYSINIT case
    allows the void * callback/data case without warning but complaints
    on const void * callback/data.
