It has to deal with debugging the kernel, especially during initialization. I choose this method as the kernel does not usually have many strings it prints except when built with DEBUG and the alternative is to determine exactly which portions of the C code and corresponding strings may possibly reside in different segments at different times (any time DS may not equal seg of string) and change just those prints - otherwise some strings print and some print garbage. I realize it changes printf prototype to only match compilers in large data mode, but the kernel does not use printf from the standard library of DOS compilers anyway. However, I will revert the changes if you prefer. Yes the CONST const issue is just trying to keep the code consistent since CONST is the preexisting usage.
