Greetings James and Other Maintainers of the Parisc Architecture,
I am wondering about two fix mes in init.c and how to fix them
for being const declared into actual variables.

The FIXME: is misleading. It should maybe better read "HINT:" or something like 
that.
Trivially it's basically just casting the symbol so that the compiler
will produce the correct code later on.
There is nothing you could try to "fix".
