I'm requesting a sponsor to handle the kstat changes to make kstat_create, etc. take const char * instead of char *. I sent mail about this to osol-code recently.
The CR# I got after filing the bug report is CR 6461778 Created P4 opensolaris/triage-queue kstat_create, named_init, etc. should use constified char * Peter Memishian had volunteered to take this on, but I want to make sure all my ducks are in a row, so I'm formally requesting a sponsor for this. Note that this probably needs a PSARC fast-track because it means a compatible API change to make the char * arguments to kstat_create, kstat_named_init, etc. use const char * instead of char *. It probably also needs a man page change. The diffs themselves are super trivial, and I can pass them on if anyone wants to see them first.
