When installing external modules with `make modules_install', the
first thing that happens is a rm -rf of the target directory. This
works only once, and breaks when installing more than one (set of)
external module(s).
With following fix we have the functionality:
- for a in-kernel modules_install the $(MODLIB)/kernel directory will be
deleted before module installation
- for external modules the existing modules will be left as is assuming
one may be building and installign several external modules

This fixes single targets build so it now works relaiably in
following cases:
- build with mixed kernel source and output files (make single-target)
- build with separate output directory (make O=.. single-target)
- external module with mixed kernel source and output files
(make M='pwd' single-target)
- external module with separate kernel source and output files
(make O=.. M='pwd' single-target)

gcc should handle this anyways, and it causes problems when
sprintf is turned into strcpy by gcc behind our backs and
the C fallback version of strcpy is actually defining __builtin_strcpy
Then drop -ffreestanding from the main Makefile because it isn't
needed anymore and implies -fno-builtin, which is wrong now.
(it was only added for x86-64, so dropping it should be safe)

I don't see any use case for the CONFIG_CC_ALIGN_* options:
- they are only available if EMBEDDED
- people using EMBEDDED will most likely also enable
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
- the default for -Os is to disable alignment
In case someone is doing performance comparisons and discovers that the
default settings gcc chooses aren't good, the only sane thing is to discuss
whether it makes sense to change this, not through offering options to change
this locally.

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.

o Moved documentation to new section to match

o added cc-ifversion used to conditionally select a text string

Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules.
So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o
and fun.o.
You can then do:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` / <= will build all .o files
and link foo.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko <= will build the module
and do the modpost step
to create foo.ko
The above will also work if the external module is placed in a
subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files.

Currently the CPU subtype options are cluttering up arch/sh/Kconfig somewhat.
Given that, this moves all of that in to its own arch/sh/mm/Kconfig. Things
like cache configuration are also moved to this new location.
This also adds support for strict CPU tuning on newer cores, which requires
the addition of as-option.

This makes ARCH=powerpc the default on 32-bit powerpc machines,
where uname -m returns ppc, as well as on 64-bit powerpc machines.
Most people who would be likely to build their own kernels on
32-bit powerpc machines would be using powermacs or CHRP machines,
both of which are supported with ARCH=powerpc now. Embedded ppc
developers whose ports haven't been moved over to arch/powerpc
yet will have to explicitly set ARCH=ppc now.

To avoid running setlocalversion as root no longer (re-)define
KERNELRELEASE for each run. With this patch KERNELRELEASE is
only re-read when we do an actual kernel build.
Rationale behind this is "do as little as possible" when executing
make install - as root!
A new file named .kernelrelease is strored in the root of the kernel
tree containing the actual version string.
So when we use do a kernel build the .kernelrelease file will be updated.
But in all other situations it is left as-is.
To make it more visible the kernel now prints out the version being build.
Sample:
Building kernel 2.6.15-g63b794bf-dirty
...
...

since all users of these are anyway broken - and none is left in the
