[PATCH] kbuild: simpler generation of constants for assembly

[Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>]

Instead of showing how cool sed(1) invocation could be, rely on the fact
that gcc doesn't really look inside "asm" statement body and more or less
directly emits it into assembly. Pretend "#define" is an instruction.

%a prints integer as plain integer without '$' or other characters.
C++ comment takes care of trailing '#' character nobody asked for.

Remove empty lines in generated file while I'm at it.

	NOT compile tested on ia64.
	Compile tested on arm.
