[RFC][PATCH 1/3] elf: Make AT_FLAGS arch configurable

[Vincenzo Frascino]

Currently, the AT_FLAGS in the elf auxiliary vector are set to 0
by default by the kernel.
Some architectures might need to expose to the userspace a non-zero
value to advertise some platform specific ABI functionalities.

This patch makes AT_FLAGS configurable by the architectures that
require it.
