A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.

In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.

16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.

The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture.  be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

.. and this should hopefully be the last -rc before final 3.4 release.

Playing around with make randconfig I ended up with CONFIG_SAMPLES
set. After cleaning up the build I noticed that git status was
showing samples/hidraw/hid-example as an untracked file.

Adding samples to clean-dirs seems to solve the problem, but
I don't know if that is the correct way to solve the issue.

When using remake, which is based on gnumake, if you invoke
an example build as shown below, the build will become silent
due to the top level make file incorrectly guessing that
the end user wants a silent build because an argument that
contained an "s" was used.  Here are two examples one with remake
and one with straight gnumake.

remake --no-extended-errors
make --warn-undefined-variables

Fix up the top level Makefile to use filter to parse the options
that mean silent instead of findstring catching other random
arguments containing an "s".

Add support for an "archheaders" target.  This target can generate
files that need to be installed for user space by "make
headers_install" or "make headers_install_all".

In order to support "make headers_install_all", it must be able to run
without the tree having to be configured first.
