[RFC][PATCH 2.6.11-rc2] vmlinux: put built-in module parameter info in vmlinux

Module parameter descriptions are added to loadable modules, but is omitted from objects built into the kernel itself. It would be nice if you could get the list of parameters usable on the kernel command line by looking at vmlinux. $ modinfo vmlinux | grep parm: parm:

[RFC][PATCH 2.6.11-rc2] vmlinux: add SETUP_DESC() to describe __setup() options

__setup() options are traditionally documented in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. However, it would be nice if they could be documented alongside the implementation, similar to MODULE_PARM_DESC() fields for modules, and if 'modinfo vmlinux' could report such. Patch below adds a new macro,
