[RFC PATCH 1/3] Add kconfig_symbol attribute to struct module

[Cristina Moraru]

Create additional attribute in struct module
in order for each module to store its associate
kconfig CONFIG_* symbol.

The goal is to enable each module to expose in
/sys its corresponding CONFIG_* option. The value
of this attribute will be dynamically pegged by
modpost without requiring extra work from the
driver developers. Further, this information will
be used by a hardware interogation tool to extract
build information about the existent devices.

This patch is part of a research project within
Google Summer of Code of porting 'make localmodconfig'
for backported drivers.
