Declare target_core_fabric_ops strucrues as const as they are only
passed as an argument to the functions target_register_template and 
target_unregister_template. The arguments are of type const struct 
target_core_fabric_ops *, so target_core_fabric_ops structures having 
this property can be declared const.
