The only in-kernel user of "memmem" is scripts/kallsyms.c and it only
uses it to find tokens that are 2 bytes in size. It is trivial to
replace it with a simple function that finds 2-byte tokens.

This should help users from systems that don't have the memmem GNU
extension available.

Normally generated values (Kconfig entries without a prompt) are cleared as
they are regenerated anyway and so they appear as new should they become
visible and defaults work as expected (once a value is set defaults aren't
used anymore).

The detection whether a value is generated or not is only based on its
visibility status, which can quickly change for a lot of symbols by just
removing a single line from .config or adding a dependency to Kconfig as you
noticed.

The patch now suppresses this logic when .config and Kconfig aren't in sync
and .config needs to be updated, so that you can remove now a random value
from .config and oldconfig won't reask for many other values.

The sed expression used at the moment in scripts/Makefile.headersinst
relies on the (handy) GNU extension where you can escape ERE's in an
otherwise BRE without using the GNU -r option.  The following patch
replaces this "\+" usage with a functionally equivalent POSIX BRE compliant
"\{1,\}".  Tested with `make headers_install` against blackfin/x86_64/i386
targets.

gcc puts data into .data.rel or .data.rel.* on some architectures (e.g.
ia64) or under certain conditions, so whatever is legal relative to
.data should also be legal for those other sections. Fixes a few

Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link
vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across
the .o files.
Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks
that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed.

The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux
but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.
For a defconfig build this is instant but for an allyesconfig this
add two minutes to a full build (that anyways takes ~2 hours).

Massimo Maiurana <maiurana@gmail.com> reported that
update-po-config was broken:
1) spelling errors in Makefile so arch/um failed
2) UTF-8 was not supported

The following patch address the above problems.
kxgettext now append the output to the .pot file
generated by xgettext - so we have a header.
In all places UFT-8 is specifed so we now flawlessly
support UTF-8.
The Kconfig files had an empty string in a few cases -
these are now supressed in kxgettext.

With this the translators can now pick up where they left
and get it all translated.
There are ~11000 strings to be translated...

Sometimes it is useful to squash all uid's/gid's to 0:0 regardless of
current owner.  For example, in build systems that get run as arbitrary
users (uClinux-dist).  This adds a special "squash" keyword so you can do
'-g squash -u squash' and have ownership squashed to root.
