Change the generic ARM probes code to pass in the opcode and architecture-specific
structure separately instead of using struct kprobe, so we do not pollute
code being used only for uprobes or other non-kprobes instruction
interpretation.

The above removal of 'static' appears to be an unneeded accidental
change?


Yes, that got lost during editing. The change has been made.
