Mikael Pettersson 9c695203a7 compiler-gcc.h: gcc-4.5 needs noclone and noinline on __naked functions
A __naked function is defined in C but with a body completely implemented
by asm(), including any prologue and epilogue.  These asm() bodies expect
standard calling conventions for parameter passing.  Older GCCs implement
that correctly, but 4.[56] currently do not, see GCC PR44290.  In the
Linux kernel this breaks ARM, causing most arch/arm/mm/copypage-*.c
modules to get miscompiled, resulting in kernel crashes during bootup.

Part of the kernel fix is to augment the __naked function attribute to
also imply noinline and noclone.  This patch implements that, and has been
verified to fix boot failures with gcc-4.5 compiled 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc1
kernels.  The patch is a no-op with older GCCs.
