While not immediately useful - a new binutils release would first need
cutting - I thought I'd post early the patches utilizing new functionality
there. The changes made are largely benign with gas 2.38 or older.

1: improve .debug_line contents for assembly sources
2: annotate entry points with type and size

1: common: honor CONFIG_CC_SPLIT_SECTIONS also for assembly functions
2: SVM: convert entry point annotations
3: VMX: convert entry point annotations
4: x86/ACPI: annotate assembly functions with type and size
5: x86/kexec: convert entry point annotations
6: x86: convert misc assembly function annotations
7: x86: move ENTRY(), GLOBAL(), and ALIGN

Being the cover letter, the title was of course supposed to say 0/7.
