[PATCH 0/7] build updates

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was hoping to get these posted earlier, but they had a dependency
on the kbuild tree which took a while to merge. Hopefully we can get
at least the first 4 patches in, which are just sanity checks on the
final binary.

With this series applied, I'm able to build[*] and boot a 64-bit
book3s allyesconfig kernel, a 200MB vmlinux (although today's tree
breaks in some random driver initcall in late boot). That's largely
a culmination of Stephen Rothwell's work (including the kbuild changes
that were merged earlier in 4.9), I just picked up some of his patches
so attributions may not be 100% reflective of reality.

[*] Building allyesconfig still requires KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1, which
    I'm yet to look into.

Thanks,
Nick
