arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S:72: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.localentry'

or:

arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S:72: Error: .localentry expression for `flush_icache_range' does not evaluate to a constant

The error message depends on the compiler / binutils version.
