[rfc 06/10] Kbuild: Create a way to create preprocessor constants from C expressions

[Christoph Lameter]

The use of enums create constants that are not available to the preprocessor
when building the kernel (f.e. MAX_NR_ZONES).

Arch code already has a way to export constants calculated to the
preprocessor through the asm-offsets.c file. Generate something
similar for the core kernel through kbuild.
