Instead of strcpy'ing into a stack buffer, just let additional_notice point
to a string literal living in .rodata. This is better in a few ways:

 - Smaller .text - instead of gcc compiling the strcpys as a bunch of
   immediate stores (effectively encoding the string literal in the
   instruction stream), we only pay the price of storing the literal in
   .rodata.

 - Faster, because there's no string copying.

 - Smaller stack usage (with my compiler, 72 bytes instead of 176 for the
   sole caller, bnx2i_indicate_kcqe)

Moreover, it's currently possible for additional_notice[] to get used
uninitialized, so some random stack garbage would be passed to printk() -
in the worst case without any '\0' anywhere in those 64 bytes. That could
be fixed by initializing additional_notice[0], but the same is achieved
here by initializing the new pointer variable to "".

Also give the message pointer a similar treatment - there's no point making
temporary copies on the stack of those two strings.
