[PATCHv5 1/4] kbuild: Add build salt to the kernel and modules

Hi.

Thanks for the update.

The build id generated from --build-id can be generated in several different
ways, with the default being the sha1 on the output of the linked file. For
distributions, it can be useful to make sure this ID is unique, even if the
actual file contents don't change. The easiest way to do this is to insert
a section with some data.

Add an ELF note to both the kernel and module which contains some data based
off of a config option.

v5: I used S-o-b here since the majority of the code was written
already.

I think Suggested-by is good enough.
S-o-b is appended as a patch is passed from people to people.

Anyway, this looks good except one bike-shed.

Please feel free to change the tag if you think it's not
appropriate. I also tweaked this to take an ascii string instead of just
a hex value since this makes things much easier on the distribution
side.

How about empty string ""
for default?
