kbuild: add syscall table generation to scripts/Makefile.asm-headers
There are 11 copies of arch/*/kernel/syscalls/Makefile that all implement
the same basic logic in a somewhat awkward way.
I tried out various ways of unifying the existing copies and ended up
with something that hooks into the logic for generating the redirections
to asm-generic headers. This gives a nicer syntax of being able to list
the generated files in $(syscall-y) inside of arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
instead of both $(generated-y) in that place and also in another
Makefile.
The configuration for which syscall.tbl file to use and which ABIs to
enable is now done in arch/*/kernel/Makefile.syscalls. I have done
patches for all architectures and made sure that the new generic
rules implement a superset of all the architecture specific corner
cases.
ince the header file is not specific to asm-generic/*.h redirects
now, I ended up renaming the file to scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.
