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.

+
+	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.

+	needs to modify symbol locations, rather than manipulate the

+	.tmp_vmlinux? targets to be called from link-vmlinux.sh.
+
+	For example, powerpc uses this to check relocation sanity of

 === 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
 
 The kernel includes a set of headers that is exported to userspace.
