Subject: [PATCH v4 6/9] entry: Make CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY available outside x86

In principle, the generic entry code is generic, and the goal is to use it
in many architectures once it settles down more.  Move CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY
to the generic config so that it can be used in the generic entry code and
not just in arch/x86.

This currently depends on GENERIC_ENTRY.  If an architecture wants to use
DEBUG_ENTRY without using GENERIC_ENTRY, this could be changed.
