1/4: reworked v2.

2/4: fix a flaw I noticed when I was working on this series

4/4: v2. compile as many headers as possible.


Changes in v2:
 - Add CONFIG_CPU_{BIG,LITTLE}_ENDIAN guard to avoid build error
 - Use 'header-test-' instead of 'no-header-test'
 - Avoid weird 'find' warning when cleaning
  - New patch
  - New patch
  - Add everything to test coverage, and exclude broken ones
  - Rename 'Makefile' to 'Kbuild'
  - Add CONFIG_KERNEL_HEADER_TEST option

  kbuild: compile-test UAPI headers to ensure they are self-contained
  kbuild: do not create wrappers for header-test-y
  kbuild: support header-test-pattern-y
  kbuild: compile-test kernel headers to ensure they are self-contained

[responding here because I didn't receive the actual patch]

This looks like it's doing what it's supposed to, but I ran into a bunch
of build fails with CONFIG_OF=n. Sent a fix to one [1], but stopped at
the next. Looks like you'll have to exclude more. And I'm pretty sure
we'll uncover more configurations where this will fail.

But I do applaud the goal, and I'm committed to making all include/drm
headers self-contained. I wouldn't block this based on the issues, it's
pretty much the only way to expose them and get them fixed/excluded, and
it's behind a config knob after all.

With the caveat that I didn't finish the build, but OTOH tested the
rainy day scenario and had the patch find issues it's meant to find:
