What we want here is to embed a user-space program into the kernel.
Instead of the complex ELF magic, let's simply wrap it in the assembly
with the '.incbin' directive.

I think this patch should 'fix' bpfilter build issue on all archs.
cflags for cross CC may still be incorrect and embedded blob
may fail to execute via fork_usermode_blob()
(like in case of 'make ARCH=i386 net/bpfilter/' CC will build and link 64-bit
binary that will be included into bpfilter.o or vmlinux and that binary
will fail to run on 32-bit kernel),
but that is separate issue that will be addressed in net-next time frame.
Long term we've discussed to switch to something like klibc and keep it
as part of the kernel to avoid relying on glibc and cc-can-link.sh.

At the very least it fixes the build issue when building i386 images
on x86_64 systems.
