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

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
...
...
The patch also un-exports VERSION PATCHLEVEL SUBLEVEL EXTRAVERSION LOCALVERSION
since all users of these are anyway broken - and none is left in the

In Uml, many definitions are borrowed from underlying subarch headers (with
#include <asm/arch/stuff.h>). And it has become annoying to keep switching
tag files all time, so by default index the underlying subarch headers too.
Btw, it adds negligible space to the tags file (less than 1M surely, IIRC it
was around 500k over 40M).
Finally, preserve the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS command line option (I hope) - if it is
set, it is used for headers too as before. But check my construct please, I
didn't test this.

When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare
The dependency chain looks like this now:
prepare
|
+--> prepare0
|
+--> archprepare
|
+--> scripts_basic
+--> prepare1
|
+---> prepare2
|
+--> prepare3
So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.
prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.
The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.

We're having the following situation: There are user-space applications
that include kernel headers directly. With a completely unconfigured
/usr/src/linux tree, including most headers fails because essential
files are not there:
include/asm
include/linux/autoconf.h
include/linux/version.h
So we create these files. On the other hand, we want to use
/usr/src/linux as read-only source for building kernels or additional
modules. Now when building a kernel with a separate output directory
(O=), there is a check in the main makefile for the include/asm symlink.
There is no real need for this check: if we ensure that
$(objdir)/include/asm is always created as the patch does,
$(srctree)/include/asm becomes irrelevant.

about the options not matching the ones used to generate the index.
It turns out the cscope designers already thought of this. The
options can be written into the "cscope.files". The included patch
moves the "-q" and "-k" options from the 'cmd_cscope' to the
'cmd_cscope-file', echoing them into the top of the files listing.
Now the index is generated with the "-q" option, and when 'cscope.el'
performs it's search, it uses that argument as well. Lookups are fast
