kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile 



Allow architectures to create arch/xxx/Makefile.postlink with targets
for vmlinux, modules.ko, and clean, which will be invoked after final
linking of vmlinux and modules.

powerpc will use this to check vmlinux linker relocations for sanity,
and may use it to fix up alternate instruction patch branch addresses.

	See "7.4 generic-y" for further info on syntax etc.



--- 6.11 Post-link pass



	If the file arch/xxx/Makefile.postlink exists, this makefile

	will be invoked for post-link objects (vmlinux and modules.ko)

	for architectures to run post-link passes on. Must also handle

	the clean target.



	This pass runs after kallsyms generation. If the architecture

	needs to modify symbol locations, rather than manipulate the

	kallsyms, it may be easier to add another postlink target for

	.tmp_vmlinux? targets to be called from link-vmlinux.sh.



	For example, powerpc uses this to check relocation sanity of

	the linked vmlinux file.



=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers



The kernel includes a set of headers that is exported to userspace.
