kbuild: fix $(src) assignmnet with external modules

When we introduced support for KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
we started to include the externam module's kbuild
file when doing the final modpost step.

As external modules often do:
ccflags-y := -I$(src)

We had problems because $(src) was unassinged and
gcc then used the next parameter for -I resulting in
strange build failures.

Fix is to assign $(src) and $(obj) when building
external modules.

This patch adds a new (Kbuild) Makefile variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS.
The space separated list of file names assigned to KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
is used when calling scripts/mod/modpost during stage 2 of the Kbuild
process for non-kernel-tree modules.

kbuild: soften modpost checks when doing cross builds

The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.

Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost file

This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous
to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file
when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and
format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text
file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code,
analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for
kernels other than the one you are running right now.

The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define
the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the
__markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as
the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable
amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section
structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the
sun.

kbuild: add verbose option to Section mismatch reporting in modpost

If the config option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not set and
we see a Section mismatch present the following to the user:

modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
To see additional details select "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
in the Kernel Hacking menu (CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH).

If the option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is selected
then be verbose in the Section mismatch reporting from mdopost.
Sample outputs:

WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.text+0x7396): Section mismatch in reference from the function discover_ebda() to the variable .init.data:ebda_addr
The function discover_ebda() references
the variable __initdata ebda_addr.
This is often because discover_ebda lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of ebda_addr is wrong.

WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.data+0x74d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pci_serial_quirks to the function .devexit.text:pci_plx9050_exit()
The variable pci_serial_quirks references
the function __devexit pci_plx9050_exit()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __exit* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x630): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_arch_register_cpu to the function .cpuinit.text:arch_register_cpu()
The symbol arch_register_cpu is exported and annotated __cpuinit
Fix this by removing the __cpuinit annotation of arch_register_cpu or drop the export.
