From: Kazuhito Hagio <k-hagio-ab@xxxxxxx>
As written in the previous patch, some recent kernels do not have the
".rodata" symbol. As a result, the get_linux_banner_from_vmlinux()
returns FALSE and the slower fallback routine is used.
Use "__start_rodata" symbol if the ".rodata" symbol is not available.

Note that I chose to use ".rodata" first to not change the current
stable behavior for old vmcores, in this case.
