Commit 0f71dcfb4aef (powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -fpatchable-function-entry) added a script to check for -fpatchable-function-entry compiler support. The script expects compiler to emit the section __patchable_function_entries and few nops after a function entry. If the compiler understands and emits the above, CONFIG_ARCH_USING_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY is set. So teach dummy-tools' gcc about this.
