DWARF v5 is the latest standard of the DWARF debug info format.

DWARF5 wins significantly in terms of size and especially so when mixed
with compression (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED).

Link: http://www.dwarfstd.org/doc/DWARF5.pdf

Patch 1 is a cleanup that lays the ground work and isn't DWARF
v5 specific.
Patch 2 implements Kconfig and Kbuild support for DWARFv5.

When you will do a v7...

Can you look also at places where we have hardcoded DWARF-2 handling...

Ah, sorry, I just saw this now, after sending v7.  Can we wait to
purge DWARF v2 until after we have DWARF v5?

In fact, if they are orthogonal like I suspect, why don't you send
some patches and I will help you test them?
