Subject: [RFC 1/3] add support for exporting symbols from .S files

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:18:07 +0200

This makes it possible to export symbols from assembly files, instead
of having to export them through an extra ksyms.c file.

I found this nicer to implement using a gas macro than a cpp macro.
