not that readable anyway, so kill them and use standard definitions
instead.
Introduce EXPORT_SYMBOL for shared symbols. EXPORT_SYMBOL tells the
compiler to use the standard calling conventions for a given symbol and
not to optimize it away.
Benefits:
- We can later use gcc -combine -fwhole-program without problems.
- It's a correctness fix for some optimizations.
- We could check for duplicated exported functions at link time.
- We could check whether exported functions are linked into initram or
stage2 by accident.
- We could generate usage statistics and possibly optimize away unused
shared functions.
- Through the above points, significant side reductions of 10-40%

Calling non-PIC code from PIC code needs an ABI wrapper and we don't
provide one. Our trick with function pointers is exceedingly fragile:
- it depends on gcc not being clever enough
- it forces us to compile all initram source files in one go
- parallelizing initram compilation breaks the code
- compiling one initram source file at a time breaks the code
- enabling higher optimizations breaks the code
- enabling -fwhole-program breaks the code
- declaring the function pointers const breaks the code
- it's an undocumented side effect of gcc which will go away
- we need excessively ugly shared function wrappers
- the shared function wrappers had more than their fair share of bugs
- almost nobody understands the wrappers completely
- Segher warns against them: "So why do you think this should work?
You're telling it to link PIC to non-PIC. Did you read the manual? It's
just not allowed. It cannot ever work."
Kill the SHARED wrappers and use a real ABI wrapper.
The wrapper code is autogenerated on demand.
Any function compiled into stage0 is now shared by default, yet the size
and code generation of stage0/1/2 code are unchanged. Initram code size
does decrease quite a bit and the difficulty of creating shared
functions is now zero.
The patch includes extensive documentation about the inner workings of
the new wrappers and the reasons why they look like this.

Wow. we've need this fix for a long time.

- I left LB_TAG_ intact because they are used by the payloads
- file renames are still missing. see next commit
- some lb_ renames might be missing. feel free to provide patches.

had _SHARED defined during compilation, each of them would contain an
assignment of stage0_printk to *printk. During linking, this caused
errors as multiple definitions of printk existed.
Make sure _SHARED alone gives you only the printk prototype, and iff
_MAINOBJECT is defined as well, include the assignment.
