The value returned in the function is const. Is it OK to still have
the function return non-const?

msrtool.h:

struct msrdef {
        const uint32_t addr;


msrutils.c:

if (addr == m->addr)
        return m->addr;
if (!strcasecmp(name, m->symbol))
        return m->addr;


If I just made a too conservative assumption about types, I am all
for!
