Subject: [Question] x86,APIC: In apicdef.h dfr,svr,...... shouldn't be const?

Hello guys, Intel System programmers guide says - dfr, svr, esr - this
registers should be readonly. So shouldn't they use const? Or is it
anything else?

And apicdef.h also contains a style problem, checkpatch warns about
following style:

              u32	spurious_vector	:  8

Check patch wants as:

                         u32	spurious_vector:8

Shouldn't this issues be fixed?

Thanks,
