It might be nice to mention commit ef94340583ee ("arm64: vdso32: drop
-no-integrated-as flag") here, as that is what flipped on the integrated
assembler for this Makefile (and it cannot be turned off).

It works fine as is but it might be nice to add parentheses around the
new condition for ease of understanding.
