Commit 18991197b4b588255ccabf472ebc84db7b66a19c added --build-id
linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some
reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.

The 1e621a8e3752367d4aae78a8ab00a18fb2793f34 worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.

This problem was discussed here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial.

This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).

It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):

and to get it exposed as /sys/kernel/notes used by perf tools.

This change passes the --build-id when linking the kernel and when linking
modules, if ld supports it. This is a new GNU ld option that synthesizes an
ELF note section inside the read-only data. The note in this section contains
unique identifying bits called the "build ID", which are generated so as to be
different for any two linked ELF files that aren't identical. The build ID
can be recovered from stripped files, memory dumps, etc. and used to look up
the original program built, locate debuginfo or other details or history
associated with it. For normal program linking, the compiler passes
--build-id to ld by default, but the option is needed when using ld directly
as we do.
