[PATCH] linux-kernel-markers-powerpc-optimization-flags

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

linux-kernel-markers-powerpc-optimization-flags

Add flag support to powerpc optimization
Fix the .section .markers, \"a\", @progbits;\n\t inline assembly :
adding the @progbits seems to remove a warning from the linker (forces
the section to DATA, which is the same a what the MARK_GENERIC version
does).
