Subject: [ 50/75] x86, boot: Restrict CFLAGS for hostprogs

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@...el.com>

commit d40f833630a1299fd377408dc8d8fac370d621b0 upstream.

Currently tools/build has access to all the kernel headers in
$(srctree). This is unnecessary and could potentially allow
tools/build to erroneously include kernel headers when it should only
be including userspace-exported headers.

Unfortunately, mkcpustr still needs access to some of the asm kernel
headers, so explicitly special case that hostprog.
