kbuild: asm-generic support

There is an increasing amount of header files
shared between individual architectures in asm-generic.
To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just
include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide
some basic support in kbuild for this.

With the following patch an architecture can maintain
a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild

To use a generic file just add:

        generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h>

For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary
wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm.

When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created.

The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32
patchset - although a different method is used.

The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann.
Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.

Remis Baima did an intial implementation along to achive
the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/

The kbuild infrastructure for *lds file are used in several
architecture-specific files.
--- 6.9 Generic header files
The directory include/asm-generic contains the header files
that may be shared between individual architectures.
The recommended approach how to use a generic header file is
to list the file in the Kbuild file.
See "7.4 generic-y" for further info on syntax etc.
=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
The kernel include a set of headers that is exported to userspace.
@ -1270,6 +1280,32 @@ See subsequent chapter for the syntax of the Kbuild file.
In the example above all exported headers in the Kbuild file
will be located in the directory "include/linux" when exported.
--- 7.4 generic-y
If an architecture uses a verbatim copy of a header from
include/asm-generic then this is listed in the file
arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild like this:
Example:
#arch/x86/include/asm/Kbuild
generic-y += termios.h
generic-y += rtc.h
During the prepare phase of the build a wrapper include
file is generated in the directory:
arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm
When a header is exported where the architecture uses
the generic header a similar wrapper is generated as part
of the set of exported headers in the directory:
usr/include/asm
The generated wrapper will in both cases look like the following:
Example: termios.h
#include <asm-generic/termios.h>
