[PATCH v4 03/13] buildid: Stash away kernels build ID on init

[Stephen Boyd]

Parse the kernel's build ID at initialization so that other code can
print a hex format string representation of the running kernel's build
ID. This will be used in the kdump and dump_stack code so that
developers can easily locate the vmlinux debug symbols for a
crash/stacktrace.
