Can you elaborate this a bit more?
I'm sure that, with my code, any member of fops, cannot be changed;
"const struct kexec_file_ops *fops" means that fops is a pointer to
"constant sturct kexec_file_ops," while "struct kexec_file_ops *
const kexec_file_loaders[]" means that kexec_file_loaders is a "constant
array" of pointers to "constant struct kexec_file_ops."
