And here is the checkpatch list:

# check for various structs that are normally const (ops, kgdb, device_tree)
		my $const_structs = qr{
				acpi_dock_ops|
				address_space_operations|
				backlight_ops|
				block_device_operations|
				dentry_operations|
				dev_pm_ops|
				dma_map_ops|
				extent_io_ops|
				file_lock_operations|
				file_operations|
				hv_ops|
				ide_dma_ops|
				intel_dvo_dev_ops|
				item_operations|
				iwl_ops|
				kgdb_arch|
				kgdb_io|
				kset_uevent_ops|
				lock_manager_operations|
				microcode_ops|
				mtrr_ops|
				neigh_ops|
				nlmsvc_binding|
				of_device_id|
				pci_raw_ops|
				pipe_buf_operations|
				platform_hibernation_ops|
				platform_suspend_ops|

				stacktrace_ops|
				sysfs_ops|
				tty_operations|
				uart_ops|
				usb_mon_operations|
				wd_ops}x;

While I don't know that Julia's "always const" list is
completely appropriate given possible local naming clashes,
maybe checkpatch can use some separate file with the
structs enumerated like a .checkpatch_const_structs file or
similar to make this more easily editable.
