This reverts commit 77b0bf55bc675233d22cd5df97605d516d64525e. A few days after the patch set applied, discussion started to solve the issue more elegantly with the help of compiler: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/7/92 The new syntax "asm inline" was implemented by Segher Boessenkool, and now queued up for GCC 9. (People were positive even for back-porting it to older compilers). Since the in-kernel workarounds merged, some issues have been reported. The current urgent issue is distro packages for module building. More fundamentally, we cannot build external modules after 'make clean' because *.s files are globally removed. We could fix those in Makefiles, but I do not want to mess up the build system any more. Given that this issue will be solved in a cleaner way sooner or later, let's revert the in-kernel workarounds, and wait for GCC 9.
