Subject: [ 42/44] x86, um: Correct syscall table type attributes breaking gcc 4.8

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Pelikan <pelikan@...rkhole.cz>

commit 9271b0b4b2044c6db06051fe60bc58cdd4f17c7c upstream.

The latest GCC 4.8 does some more checking on type attributes that
break the build for ARCH=um -> fill them in.  Specifically, the
"asmlinkage" attributes is now tested for consistency.
