kbuild: Add 'make namespacecheck'
make namespacecheck lists globally visible symbols that are not used outside the file that defines them. These symbols are candidates for static declarations. It also lists multiply defined symbols. namespace.pl knows about lots of special cases in the kernel code, including exported symbols and conglomerate objects. The patch also corrects the usage of scripts/reference*.pl, they need $(src).

+# Tuned for 2.1.x kernels with the new module handling, it will

+# The source must be compiled/assembled first, the object files

+# Even with complete objects, treat the result of the analysis

+# certain architectures, others with certain combinations of
+# configuration parameters. Ideally the source should include
+# something like
+#
+# #ifndef CONFIG_...
+# static
+# #endif
+# symbol_definition;
+#
+# so the symbols are defined as static unless a particular
