Subject: [PATCH] Kbuild: Check for CONFIG_READABLE_ASM when building .s targets

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

We do need to look at the asm output of c files for various reasons. In
order to do so, we do make <path-to-filename>.s.

However, it can happen that the Kconfig option which enables the
creation of readable asm CONFIG_READABLE_ASM is disabled. What is more,
we want this option enabled because it indirectly enables the issue of
line numbers in the asm done by gcc's switch -g.

So issue a warning that the asm output might not be optimally readable
if that option is disabled.
