[RFC 1/4] ARM: autogenerate mach-foo/* and plat-foo/* header redirects

This is an attempt to simplify the duplicate header problem for
multiplatform kernels, in multiple steps:

1. (this patch)
   for each arch/arm/mach-${MACHINE}/include/mach-${MACHINE}/*.h file,
   generate a arch/arm/include/generated/mach/*.h file at build time,
   same for plat-*.

2. rename all arch/arm/mach-${MACHINE}/include/mach/*.h to
   arch/arm/mach-${MACHINE}/include/mach-${MACHINE}/*.h and
   arch/arm/plat-${PLAT}/include/plat/*.h to
   arch/arm/plat-${PLAT}/include/plat-${PLAT}/*.h

3. change all includes of <mach/*.h> to <mach-${MACHINE}/*.h>
   in all files where ${MACHINE} is known.

4. ...

5. Revert this patch again.

We can apply this patch at any time, and do step 2 at the end
of the next merge window to minimize the potential for conflicts.
We will also still need to deal with any inclusion of a mach/*
file, but out of the 6355 ones we have today, I expect only a
few hundred to remain after step 3 and they will be much easier
to spot.

I've picked the format <mach-foo/bar.h> to get a unique name because
it matches the directory name under arch/arm, but other names
would work with the same script, <mach/foo-bar.h> and <foo/bar.h>
have been suggested previously.
