[PATCH 0/2] x86: Avoid CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=y with llvm-objcopy

This series disables CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=y with llvm-objcopy, which has
had two outstanding issues, which are further outlined in the second
patch:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/514
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1141

The first patch is from Masahiro, which moves the CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI
back into Kconfig proper. It was initially pushed as an RFC:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210227183910.221873-1-masahiroy@kernel.org/

The conclusion of that thread was that the check was still needed
because of the two issues above. However, with the introduction of
IBT, specifically commit 41c5ef31ad71 ("x86/ibt: Base IBT bits"), the
second issue linked above becomes visible with allmodconfig, which
heavily impacts automated testing.

The second patch builds on the first by just universally disabling
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI when using llvm-objcopy at configuration time so that
neither issue is visible.

While it is unlikely that these issues will be fixed in LLVM, this could
eventually become a version check.

This is based on -tip x86/core and I would like for both patches to go
with the IBT changes so that there is no build breakage.
