Although the compiler wasn't complaining (since it was the pointer, rather than what was being pointed to, that was actually const), it looks quite suspicious to call a function with an argument labeled const when the nature of the pointer (virBufferPtr) is hidden behind a typedef. Dropping const makes the function declarations easier to read.

Maybe a typo here?The virBufferPtr still remains const, but the declaration of this function in the buf.h shows this const is removed, too.
