From: Wedson Almeida Filho <walmeida@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> As it is currently declared, the xattr_handler structs are const but the array containing their pointers is not. This patch makes it so that fs modules can place them in .rodata, which makes it harder for accidental/malicious modifications at runtime.
