Subject: [PATCH v1] Kbuild: generate debug info in building

This patch will generate kernel debuginfo in Kbuild when invoking "make
debug_info". The separate debug files are in .debug under building tree.
They can help the cases of requiring debug info for tracing/debug tools,
especially cross-compilation. Moreover, it can simplify or standardize 
the packaging process for the distributions those will provide 
kernel-debuginfo.
