Ah, sorry for my mistake. I would like to make both the value
pointed by the pointers and the pointers itself read-only.
Thus the right way of the patch should be;

-	print "const insn_attr_t const *inat_escape_tables[INAT_ESC_MAX + 1]" \
+	print "const insn_attr_t * const inat_escape_tables[INAT_ESC_MAX + 1]" \

Cong, could you update your patch? then I can Ack that.

Thank you,
