3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d72f4e29e6d84b7ec02ae93088aa459ac70e733b upstream.
firmware_restrict_branch_speculation_*() recently started using
preempt_enable()/disable(), but those are relatively high level
primitives and cause build failures on some 32-bit builds.
Since we want to keep <asm/nospec-branch.h> low level, convert
them to macros to avoid header hell...
