add shared patches for GCC8 compatibility

This introduces a new .shared-patches folder. New
"pmbootstrap aportgen" code will make use of this, and create symlinks
to the patches inside that folder when running
"pmbootstrap aportgen linux-..." (or using the new device wizard).

Subject: [PATCH] give up on gcc ilog2() constant optimizations
commit 474c90156c8dcc2fa815e6716cc9394d7930cb9c upstream.
gcc-7 has an "optimization" pass that completely screws up, and
generates the code expansion for the (impossible) case of calling
ilog2() with a zero constant, even when the code gcc compiles does not
actually have a zero constant.
And we try to generate a compile-time error for anybody doing ilog2() on
a constant where that doesn't make sense (be it zero or negative). So
now gcc7 will fail the build due to our sanity checking, because it
created that constant-zero case that didn't actually exist in the source
code.
There's a whole long discussion on the kernel mailing about how to work
around this gcc bug. The gcc people themselevs have discussed their
"feature" in
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72785
but it's all water under the bridge, because while it looked at one
point like it would be solved by the time gcc7 was released, that was
not to be.
So now we have to deal with this compiler braindamage.
And the only simple approach seems to be to just delete the code that
tries to warn about bad uses of ilog2().
So now "ilog2()" will just return 0 not just for the value 1, but for
any non-positive value too.
It's not like I can recall anybody having ever actually tried to use
this function on any invalid value, but maybe the sanity check just
meant that such code never made it out in public.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix put_user() for gcc-8
Building kernels before linux-4.7 with gcc-8 results in many build failures
when gcc triggers a check that was meant to catch broken compilers:
/tmp/ccCGMQmS.s:648: Error: .err encountered
According to the discussion in the gcc bugzilla, a local "register
asm()" variable is still supposed to be the correct way to force an
inline assembly to use a particular register, but marking it 'const'
lets the compiler do optimizations that break that, i.e the compiler is
free to treat the variable as either 'const' or 'register' in that case.
Upstream commit 9f73bd8bb445 ("ARM: uaccess: remove put_user() code
duplication") fixed this problem in linux-4.8 as part of a larger change,
but seems a little too big to be backported to 4.4.
Let's take the simplest fix and change only the one broken line in the
same way as newer kernels.
