kbuild: create a way to create preprocessor constants from C expressions
The use of enums create constants that are not available to the preprocessor when building the kernel (f.e. MAX_NR_ZONES). Arch code already has a way to export constants calculated to the preprocessor through the asm-offsets.c file. Generate something similar for the core kernel through kbuild.
