In spite of what the GCC manual says, the -mfast-indirect-calls has
never been supported in the 64-bit
parisc compiler. Indirect calls have always been done using function
descriptors irrespective of the
-mfast-indirect-calls option.
Recently, it was noticed that a function descriptor was always
requested when the -mfast-indirect-calls option
was specified. This caused problems when the option was used in
application code and doesn't make any
sense because the whole point of the option is to avoid using a
function descriptor for indirect calls.
Fixing this broke 64-bit kernel builds.
I will fix GCC but for now we need the attached change. This results
is the same kernel code as before.
