Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
(*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
mod_arch_specific struct.(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes
the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes
the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.Signed-off-by: David Howells

These are all kernel internal interfaces that get copied
around a lot. In most cases, architectures can provide
their own optimized versions, but these generic versions
can work as well.I have tried to use the most common contents of each
header to allow existing architectures to migrate easily.Thanks to Remis for suggesting a number of cleanups.
