This introduces the core changes ported from LITMUS 2007.
The kernel seems to work under QEMU, but many bugs probably remain.

Change two occurances of "behavour" to "behaviour".

The check introduced in commit:
4f1127e204377cbd2a56d112d323466f668e8334 "kbuild: fix
infinite make recursion"

caused certain external modules not to build and
also caused 'make targz-pkg' to fail.
This is a minimal fix so we revert to previous
behaviour - but we do not overwrite the Makefile
in the top-level directory.

Jan Altenberg <jan.altenberg@linutronix.de> reported that
building with redirected input like this failed:
make O=dir oldconfig bzImage < /dev/null

The problem were caused by a make silentoldconfig being
run before oldconfig and with a non-recent .config the build
failed because silentoldconfig requires non-redirected stdin.

Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the
top-level Makefile re-made by make.
Introducing an empty rule for the top-level Makefile
(and Kbuild.include) fixed the issue.
