[PATCH] i386: Clean up ELF note generation

Three cleanups:

1: ELF notes are never mapped, so there's no need to have any access
flags in their phdr.

2: When generating them from asm, tell the assembler to use a SHT_NOTE
section type.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this from C.

3: Use ANSI rather than traditional cpp behaviour to stringify the
macro argument.
