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/
