Only tangentially related to this, I have a patch in one of my WIP
branches that const-poisons vn_fullpath()'s retbuf parameter, if
that's of any interest. Many consumers will set a default value to a
statically allocated string before passing it in as the retbuf -- I
had a use-case where I'd be trying to do similar but with a function
that actually returns a const char *, but that particular case may not
get committed.

I can post the patch to phabricator if anyone cares about this -- the
impact on callers isn't actually all that bad, basically just
shuffling around declarations. There's only one case where it ends up
introducing some __DECONST ugliness because the caller writes it out
with uiomove().

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
