Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.
The compiler.h additions are for an implict presence of the
"notrace" which module.h brought in but export.h does not.

On certain MIPS32 devices, the ftrace tracer "function_graph" uses
__lshrdi3() during the capturing of trace data. ftrace then attempts to
trace __lshrdi3() which leads to infinite recursion and a stack overflow.
Fix this by marking __lshrdi3() as notrace. Mark the other compiler
intrinsics as notrace in case the compiler decides to use them in the
ftrace path.

ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will use __builtin_bswap16(), __builtin_bswap32()
and __builtin_bswap64() where available. This allows better instruction
scheduling. On pre-R2 processors it will result in 32 bit and 64 bit
swapping being performed in a call to a __bswapsi2() rsp. __bswapdi2()
functions, so we add these, too.
For a 4.2 kernel with GCC 4.9 this yields the following kernel sizes:
text data bss dec hex filename
3996071 155804 88992 4240867 40b5e3 vmlinux ip22 baseline
3985687 159900 88992 4234579 409d53 vmlinux ip22 + bswap patch

5773401 268752 187424 6229577 5f0e49 vmlinux malta + bswap patch
Presumably the code size improvments yield better cache hit rate thus
better performance compensating for the extra function call but this
will still need to be benchmarked.
