Unfortunately not true. It breaks the build on s390 since a couple of
displacements used in asm code now get too large:

arch/s390/kernel/entry.S:181: Error: operand out of range (0x00000000000018a8 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and 0x0000000000000fff)

make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/entry.o] Error 1

Let's see how we can fix this.
