include/stap-probe.h: Add comment about SystemTap argument format
Add a comment pointing to the SystemTap wiki page that documents the format of the arguments. Also add a pointer to the SystemTap and gdb sources which seem to be the best place to get the architecture specific details. ChangeLog: 2014-02-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * include/stap-probe.h: Add comment about probe argument format.
