That's what the constify plugin does, yes. Though to deal with cases
where something rarely written to, the
pax_open_kernel/pax_close_kernel annotations are needed, which is why
I don't have a sane port of the constify plugin yet. We need to build
upstream-acceptable infrastructure for the write-rarely case. But, as
Julia replied, yes, there's a huge list. :)
