tools: add userspace linker table sandbox
Add a userspace sandbox to allow easy experimentation and
test extensions with linker tables, section ranges and the
new section core definitions.
The userspace sandbox tries to mimic the Linux kernel development
flow as much as possible, it however relies on and uses libc. Support
is currently only provided to x86_64.
v5:
o moves tools/include/linux/printk.h to tools
linker-table/include/linux/printk.h -- we cannot generalize this
just yet, more work is needed in terms of providing a namespace for
headers for types of ports of kernel functionality to userspace.
o Adjust code according to the latest discussions for the linker
tables API (section name macros are now gone).
v4: this patch is new in this series -- added to the kenrel as
suggested by Boris, as otherwise it'd be really hard to keep
an external userspace repository in sync.
