The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.
For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html
Changes in this patch:
- Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
- Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
- Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
targets are up-to-date or not.

Allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time.
This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation
decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions. One
of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only
once now get inlined.
gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining
and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and
unacceptable stack use. This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series. The
x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.

This removes the dependency from vmlinux to install, thus avoiding the
current situation where "make install" has a nasty tendency to leave
root-turds in the working directory.
It also updates x86-64 to be in sync with i386.

This was causing some ordering problems. Remove the up-front evaluation
and just revaluate the compiler version each time we need it.
(The up-front evaluation was problematic because some architectures modify
the value of $(CC)).

Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.
For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

Building asm-offsets.h has been moved to a seperate Kbuild file
located in the top-level directory. This allow us to share the
functionality across the architectures.
The old rules in architecture specific Makefiles will die
in subsequent patches.
Furhtermore the usual kbuild dependency tracking is now used
when deciding to rebuild asm-offsets.s. So we no longer risk
to fail a rebuild caused by asm-offsets.c dependencies being touched.
With this common rule-set we now force the same name across
all architectures. Following patches will fix the rest.

This allows the i386 architecture to be built on a system with a biarch
compiler that defaults to x86-64, merely by specifying ARCH=i386.
As previously discussed, this uses the equivalent logic to the ppc port.

Removing the dependency on vmlinux for the install target raised a few
complaints, so instead a new target i added: kernel_install.
kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target.
The only difference is that install has a dependency on vmlinux,
kernel_install does not. Therefore kernel_install is the best choice
when accessing the kernel over a NFS mount or as another user.
kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does
a full kernel compile before performing the install.
In this way they are good for root use. Also added back the
dependency on vmlinux for the install target so peoples scripts are no
longer broken.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
