Ok, I'm starting to understand (again :)) why 'const' is there:

static const struct ibdiag_opt *opts_map[256];

and later:

	memset(opts_map, 0, sizeof(opts_map));

opts_map is array of pointers which should refer read-only areas,
memset() initializes the array itself. As far as I understand there
should not be a "const violations".
