Here are some more pointers which can be const, as reported by cppcheck

cppcheck-2.19.1 pointed out that an initialiser like:
union epoll_ref foo = { 0 };
doesn't necessarily zero the whole union, because the first variant listed
may not be the full length. I don't think this is actually broken in
practice, but I'm not 100% certain about that.
In any case, make it more clearly correct, and stop cppcheck complaining
by moving the @u64 variant to be the first one.
