no callers, no consistent semantics, no sane way to use it...

kernelci.org reports tons of build warnings for linux-next:

35	WARNING: "memcpy" [fs/fat/msdos.ko] has no CRC!
35	WARNING: "__copy_user" [fs/fat/fat.ko] has no CRC!
32	WARNING: EXPORT symbol "memset" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
32	WARNING: EXPORT symbol "copy_page" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
32	WARNING: EXPORT symbol "clear_page" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
32	WARNING: EXPORT symbol "__strncpy_from_user_nocheck_asm" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.

The problem here is mainly the missing asm/asm-prototypes.h header file
that is supposed to include the prototypes for each symbol that is exported
from an assembler file.

A second problem is that the asm/uaccess.h header contains some but not
all the necessary declarations for the user access helpers.

Finally, the vdso build is broken once we add asm/asm-prototypes.h, so
we have to fix this at the same time by changing the vdso header. My
approach here is to just not look for exported symbols in the VDSO
assembler files, as the symbols cannot be exported anyway.

Now that EXPORT_SYMBOL can be used from assembly source, move the
EXPORT_SYMBOL invocations for the strlen*, strnlen* & strncpy* functions
to be alongside their definitions.

In non-EVA mode, strlen_user* aliases are used for the
strlen_kernel* symbols since the code is identical. In EVA
mode, new strlen_user* symbols are used which use the EVA
specific instructions to load values from userspace.

Build the __strlen_user symbol using a macro. In EVA mode we will
need to use similar code to do the userspace load operations so
it is better if we use a macro to avoid code duplications.

Optimise 'strlen' to use microMIPS instructions and/or optimisations
for binary size reduction. When the microMIPS ISA is not being used,
the library function compiles to the original binary code.

These symbols appear in oprofile output, stacktraces and similar but only
make the output harder to read.  Many identical symbol names such as
"both_aligned" were also being used in multiple source files making it
impossible to see which file actually was meant.  So let's get rid of them.

Removed obsolete stuff from arch makefile.
mips had a special rule for generating asm-offsets.h so preserved it
using an architecture specific hook in top-level Kbuild file.
Renamed .h file to asm-offsets.h

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
