 Is it not better to add const in the propotype ?

Comparing to other print-function with a 'len' as last parameter,
I think not. Looking through interface.h for *_print() functions, only these
have a 'const u_int' as last arg:
  openflow_print, ahcp_print.

IMHO, we should be consistent; a 'const u_int len' or simply a 
'u_int len'.
Some even have a 'register' modifier which seems odd.

I agree that we should be consistent, if possible.
But it's also depend if the parameter is used read-only or not in the function.
