Rather than having an asm-prototypes.h file where C prototypes for exported
asm symbols are centralized, let's have some macros that can be used
directly in the code where those symbols are exported for genksyms
consumption. Either the prototype is provided directly if no include
files has it, or the include file containing it is specified.
