I just did not think of it. That does seem nicer, thanks. What do
you think of this?
Allow architectures to create arch/xxx/Makefile.postlink with targets
for vmlinux, modules.ko, and clean, which will be invoked after final
linking of vmlinux and modules.
powerpc will use this to check vmlinux linker relocations for sanity,
and may use it to fix up alternate instruction patch branch addresses.

Since v1,
- Switched to a more flexible arch makefile invocation.
- Provide a powerpc patch to use it to help existing build issue
(rather than only justification being out-of-tree patch).
Since v2
- Depend on existence of Makefile.modpost, rather than config option.
- Move post-vmlinux invocation into Makefile rather than link-vmlinux.sh
- Add a clean target

=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
The kernel includes a set of headers that is exported to userspace.
