Recent gas versions generate minimalistic Dwarf debug info for items
annotated as functions and having their sizes specified [1]. Furthermore
generating live patches wants items properly annotated. "Borrow" Arm's
END() and (remotely) derive other annotation infrastructure from
Linux'es, for all architectures to use.

v3: New, generalized from earlier x86-only version. LAST() (now
    LASTARG()) moved to macros.h.

TBD: What to set CODE_ALIGN to by default? Or should we requires arch-es
     to define that in all cases?

TBD: {CODE,DATA}_ALIGN are byte granular, such that a value of 0 can be
     specified (in case this has some special meaning on an arch;
     conceivably it could mean to use some kind of arch default). We may
     not strictly need that, and hence we could also make these power-of
     -2 values (using .p2align).

Note that we can't use ALIGN() (in place of SYM_ALIGN()) as long as we
still have ALIGN.

Note further that FUNC()'s etc "algn" parameter is intended to allow for
only no or a single argument. If we wanted to also make the fill value
customizable per call site, the constructs would need re-doing to some
degree.
