Recently the __extension__ keyword has been introduced in the kernel.
Teach genksyms about this keyword so it can generate correct CRC for
exported symbols that uses a symbol marked __extension__.
For now only the typedef variant:
__extension__ typedef ...
is supported.
Later we may add more variants as needed.
This patch contains the actual source file changes. The
following patch will hold modifications to the generated
files (*_shipped) and only after the second patch the fix
has effect.

This is a one-line change to parse.y.
To take advantage of this the scripts/genksyms/*_shipped files needs to
be rebuild - this is the next patch.
When a .c file contains:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);
the .cpp output looks like:
__attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu"))) __typeof__(struct foo_s *) per_cpu__bar;
With the existing parse.y, the value inside the paranthesis of
__typeof__() does not evaluate as a type_specifier and therefore
per_cpu__bar does not get assigned a type for genksyms which results in
the EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL() not generating a CRC value.
I have compared the Modules.symvers with and without this
patch and for ia64's defconfig, the only change is:
Before 0x00000000 per_cpu____sn_nodepda vmlinux
After 0x9d3f3faa per_cpu____sn_nodepda vmlinux
per_cpu____sn_nodepda was the original source of my problems.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
