This marks the declaration of die() correctly, removing "control reaches end of non-void function" warnings from non-void functions that die() at the end. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I've noticed there is an ongoing discussion about the use of NORET_TYPE and ATTRIB_NORET, but until that is resolved this change is useful. Please apply.
