:>From my uderstanding, SYSINIT should always point to a function with a
:CONST argument because the argument is fixed as a constant at link/compile
:time.

:what functions don't expect a const? and why not?

:or am I mising something?

Most of the functions do not expect a const argument, though that
may simply be because they didn't bother to use const when they
could have.
However, I know at least the MALLOC initialization objects *can't*
use const objects because the malloc initialization routine modifies
the data object.
I'm sure that a non-trivial number of the sysinits also modify their
data objects. So we need to handle both cases.
