Already done in kbuild 2.5, it creates arch/i386/asm-offsets.h.
Currently containing this list, which can easily be expanded.

flags = 4 /* 0x4 offsetof(struct task_struct, flags) */
sigpending = 8 /* 0x8 offsetof(struct task_struct, sigpending) */
addr_limit = 12 /* 0xc offsetof(struct task_struct, addr_limit) */
