It's not new enforcement, just syntatic sugar (though it's tasty sugar). All fields
in struct kvm_mmu_role_regs are const specifically to prevent such a struct from
being changed regardless of how a pointer was obtained.

struct kvm_mmu_role_regs {
const unsigned long cr0;
const unsigned long cr4;
const u64 efer;
};
