Move the final link of vmlinux to a script to improve
readability and maintainability of the code.
The Makefile fragments used to link vmlinux has over the
years seen far too many changes and the logic had become
hard to follow.
As the process by nature is serialized there was
nothing gained including this in the Makefile.
"um" has special link requirments - and the
only way to handle this was to hard-code the linking
of "um" in the script.
This was better than trying to modularize it only for the
benefit of "um" anyway.
The shell script has been improved after input from:

x86_64 UML is unable to load modules if more than 504MiB
of memory are used.
This happens because on x86_64 the UML process has a quite high
start address (typically around 0x6000000).
If UML's memory is larger than 504MiB VMALLOC_START happens to be after
0x8000000. This is no problem unless one loads a module which was built
with R_X86_64_32S relocations.
Symbols with a location > 0x8000000 cannot be used with R_X86_64_32S
To deal with this x86_64 UML has to be compiled with -mcmodel=large
such that no R_X86_64_32S relocations are used.

In case we need generated header files for the values in
user-offsets.h, make sure we build generated header files before
user-offsets.s is built.

Run the "archheaders" target for the host architecture, for
architectures (like x86, now) that want to generate some of the
necessary header files.
Add $(HOST_DIR)/include/generated to the include path so we then pick
them up.

The simplest method was to add an extra asm-offsets.h
file in arch/$ARCH/include/asm that references the generated file.
We can now migrate the architectures one-by-one to reference
the generated file direct - and when done we can delete the
temporary arch/$ARCH/include/asm/asm-offsets.h file.

Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.
Notes for the different architectures touched:
arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
[Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
the linker script.
[Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
[not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
[not build tested]

We need to make asm-offsets.h contents visible for objects built
with userland headers. Instead of creating a symlink, just have the
file with equivalent include (relative to location of header) created
once. That kills the last symlink used in arch/um builds.
Additionally, both generated headers can become dependencies of
archprepare now, killing the misuse of prepare.

Teach scripts/kconfig/Makefile and top-level Makefile that arch/*/Makefile
is allowed to say Kconfig := <whatever I want instead of arch/blah/Kconfig>.
Rewrite arch/um/Kconfig and arch/um/Kconfig.<subarch> so that the latter
would be top-level one (and include the pieces of the former).
