It's how cpu_register() in target-arm/cpu.c does the same thing
(though we use void* rather than gpointer as the cast).
If you really dislike the const I guess you could use:
    char *name = g_strconcat(...);
    TypeInfo ti = {
          .name = name,
          [...]
    };
    [...]
    g_free(name);
