When building a kernel for a different architecture
kbuild requires the user always to specify ARCH and
CROSS_COMPILE on the command-line.
Failing to do so can result in strange build errros especially
when the asm symlink point to anohter architecture than
the one being build.
The typical case is that the user forget to specify
ARCH and/or CROSS_COMPILE on the commandline.
Address the above issues by saving ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
when building a kernel. The information is saved in a
file named ".kbuild" which is not supposed to be manually
edited and kbuild will overwrite it when a kernel is build.
If a kernel is build and no ARCH/CROSS_COMPILE info is saved
then the current settings are saved.
If ARCH/CROSS_COMPILE was saved then these value are used.
If the user specified either ARCH and/or CROSS_COMPILE
it is validated that they match the saved values and kbuild
error out if this is not the case.

This addressed the comments from Adrian and Andi.
The file is now named ".kbuild".
And the dummy assignmnets are preserved (and commented).
I plan to sneak this patch into the merge window if there
are no complains - despite that I have not tested this in -mm.
