First of all, in order to build with clang at all, one must first apply
Valentin Obst's build fix for LLVM [1]. Once that is done, then when
building with clang, via:
make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests
...the build fails because clang's inline asm doesn't support all of the
features that are used in the asm() snippet in sysret_rip.c.
Fix this by moving the asm code into the clang_helpers_64.S file, where
it can be built with the assembler's full set of features.
