So the unofficial plan was to enforce asm-goto and -fentry support by
hard failure to build, which would get us at gcc-4.6 and then remove all
the fallback cruft needed for those features -- for x86. If we want to
do this tree wide, that's obviously OK with me too ;-)

The below is the two force-asm-goto and force-fentry patches folded.
