[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xl: fix compiler warning with fork_exec_bootloader

[Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

this is an updated version of a patch I sent some weeks ago, I suppose 
it has somehow been dropped accidentally.
---------------

At least one of my compilers complains about the broken const
qualifier in the fork_exec_bootloader() call (despite the cast).
Fix this properly by propagating the const attribute down the
call stack.
