[PATCH v6 06/10] KVM: Allow kvm_device_ops to be const

Steven Price

Currently a kvm_device_ops structure cannot be const without triggering
compiler warnings. However the structure doesn't need to be written to
and, by marking it const, it can be read-only in memory. Add some more
const keywords to allow this.
