[PATCH 1/2] kbuild: provide include/asm/asm-prototypes.h for ARM

This adds an asm/asm-prototypes.h header for ARM to fix the broken symbol
versioning for symbols exported from assembler files.

I couldn't find the correct prototypes for the compiler builtins,
so I went with the fake 'void f(void)' prototypes that we had
before, restoring the state before they were moved.

Originally I assumed that the problem was just a harmless warning
in unusual configurations, but as Uwe found, we actually need this
to load most modules when symbol versioning is enabled, as it is
in many distro kernels.

Compared to the earlier version, I dropped the changes to the
csumpartial files, which now get handled correctly by Kbuild
even when the export comes from a macro, and I also dropped the
changes to the bitops files, which were already fixed in a
patch from Nico.

The patch applies cleanly on top of the rmk/fixes tree but has
no effect there, as it also needs 4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions
for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") and cc6acc11cad1 ("kbuild: be more
careful about matching preprocessed asm ___EXPORT_SYMBOL").

With the combination of rmk/fixes, torvalds/master and these two
patches, symbol versioning works again on ARM. As it is still
broken on almost all other architectures (powerpc is fixed,
x86 has a patch), I wonder if we should make CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
as broken for everything else.
