one line patch to save .config information

Rather than save the .config options in the kernel and bloat it, append
them to System.map with the same address as _end. Of course if you
have no map for your current kernel you are in trouble anyway.

The patch might affect code that reads System.map. klogd 1.3-3 does
not object to the extra records.
