Good point, fixed!

I added the const.

However, I left the array in the .h file.  The issue is that the #defines
really have to be in the tree.h file.  Given that, if I move the array
elsewhere, they will very likely drift out of sync.  So this sounds like
a job for the compiler/linker...

Ah, but there is another approach.  It turns out that tree.h in included
only from tree.c and tree_trace.c.  And tree_trace.c defines a CPP symbol
RCU_TREE_NONCORE that is used elsewhere in tree.h to keep tree_trace.c's
mitts off a number of attractive but dangerous functions.  So I just put
the array under "#ifndef RCU_TREE_NONCORE".

Fair enough?
