Subject: alpha: makefile: don't enforce small data model for kernel builds
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>
commit cd8d2331756751b6aeb855a3c9cb0a92fbd9c725 upstream.
Due to all of the goodness being packed into today's kernels, the
resulting image isn't as slim as it once was.
In light of this, don't pass -msmall-data to gcc, which otherwise results
in link failures due to impossible relocations when compiling anything but
the most trivial configurations.
