sparse chokes on arch/i386/kernel/i8253.c

Here is a marker fix that puts the correct -i include/linux/marker.h in
the top level Makefile so sparse works correctly. The tricky part is to
keep the kernel compiling correctly with a kernel build directory
different from the kernel source tree too.

The fix applies on top the the Linux Kernel Markers for 2.6.20.
