Some various improvements for inline asm code generation.
The "RFC" is really patches 4 and 5, they propose a more readable format
for alternatives and objtool annotations. Bikeshedding welcome.
If a general format is agreed upon, we could do similar for other
annotations like WARN/BUG, static branches/calls, etc.
Josh Poimboeuf (5):
objtool: Remove ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE from CLAC/STAC
objtool, x86/hweight: Remove ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE
noinstr: Use asm_inline() in instrumentation_{begin,end}()
x86/alternative: Improve code generation readability
objtool: Improve code generation readability
