[PATCH 4/4] ARM: kprobes-test: move to using a pointer to the title text

[ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk (Ben Dooks)]

When testing the kprobes test code with BE8, there is either an
issue with the linker or how the code is being built. The issue
is with embedding the title text as the first part of the test.

Change to placing a pointer to .rodata with the text title in it
for the test which seems to stop the issue of the alignment of
the data following it being changed arbitrarily by the linker.

The proper thing to do here is to fix the linker, however this
patch also makes the output much easier to read as there are no
variable length data items here any more.
