Alternatively, this is a perfectly valid cleanup, reducing the scope of 
a header inclusion to the C prototype that actually needs it, thus 
reducing header bloat for assembly files that don't. Which happens to 
also have a pleasant side-effect in avoiding an inexplicable LTO nonsense :D

Even just in terms of that cleanup,

FWIW, my gut feeling is that LTO has somehow blurred the lines between 
different expansions of _AC() in ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 that it 
remembers from other compilation units that it's busy munging together, 
and confused itself.
