Subject: [PATCH 5/5] UML - reconst a parameter

The previous const-ing patch consted a string which shouldn't have
been, and I didn't notice the gcc warning.

ubd_setup can't take a const char * because its address is assigned to
something which expects a char *arg. Many setups modify the string
they are given, they can't be const.
