The only problem is then the write() triggers a warning because then we
*are* trying to write through the pointer :-)

arch/s390/kernel/module.c:300:10: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘write’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
300 | write(gotent, &val, sizeof(*gotent));
