[PATCH 0/3] KVM: small type cleanups

[Mathias Krause]

Hi,

this small series contains a few type and style cleanups. It has no
impact on the generated code but removes a few small nits from the
code.

Please apply!

Thanks,

[PATCH 1/3] KVM: VMX: Use proper types to access const arrays

[Mathias Krause]

Use a const pointer type instead of casting away the const qualifier
from const arrays. Keep the pointer array on the stack, nonetheless.
Making it static just increases the object size.

[PATCH 2/3] KVM: VMX: Use size_t to store sizeof() values

[Mathias Krause]

The type for storing values of the sizeof operator should be size_t.
No semantical changes, only type correctness.

The "const int" is not particularly useful, but doesn't hurt either.

Both the "const" and the change seem like useless churn.  It is only
used to adjust a pointer by a given number of bytes.

It's more of a hint for the compiler to take the values verbatim
instead of allocating stack space for them. But it'll probably already
do it even without that "hint".

It won't change anything really.  Maybe for "const int foo[]", but I'm
not even sure about that and it depends a lot on the circumstances (loop
unrolling, inlining, whether you ever store "foo" in a variable or pass
it as a parameter, ...).  The compiler may leave it on the stack anyway.
