Description:The attached patch adds some const qualifiers were applicable.
It is not yet finished (the whole code base has not been completely reviewed) but seems usable by itself without breaking the build.

1) Please don't add the const keyword to casts.  It does absolutely nothing.

2) We are very cautious about altering public APIs, because it affects backwards compatibility, especially on function pointers.  Please do not make those changes without discussion on the -dev list.

3) Please do not remove existing casts.  They are there for good reason (mostly for compatibility with other architectures).
