LTO is not supported yet, but there are a handful of references to the
flag '-flto' and the non-existent Kconfig option 'LTO'. To not confuse
users about whether LTO is supported or not, we should remove this
dead code.
As an aside, prototyping has shown that supporting LTO will give
signicant (10%) code size improvments, but will not be trivial to
support due to how we process object files with python.

Move the SoC outside of the architecture tree and put them at the same
level as boards and architectures allowing both SoCs and boards to be
maintained outside the tree.

The entry point can and therefore should be set by linker
scripts. Whenever possible one should express things in the source
language, be it .c or .ld, and not in code generators or in the build
system.
This patch removes the flag -eCONFIG_KERNEL_ENTRY from the linker's
command line and replaces it with the linker script command
ENTRY(CONFIG_KERNEL_ENTRY)

Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build
$ make
