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.

Looks OK to me, though it looks like this patch includes some header
file cleanups that should have been part of the previous patch? I.e. all
the changes to probes-thumb.h and probes-arm.h. And also the
re-application of 'static' to functions in kprobes-thumb.c and
kprobes-arm.c.

I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of trying to unpick those changes
though, it doesn't impact the end result or bisect-bility.


I moved the changes around as suggested.
