[RFC PATCH v2 4/5] kbuild: Add generic hook for architectures to use before the final vmlinux link

[Naveen N Rao]

On powerpc, we would like to be able to make a pass on vmlinux.o and
generate a new object file to be linked into vmlinux. Add a generic pass
in link-vmlinux.sh that architectures can use for this purpose.
Architectures need to select CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_PRE_LINK_VMLINUX and must
provide arch/<arch>/tools/vmlinux_o.sh, which will be invoked prior to
the final vmlinux link step.
