Subject: [PATCH 13/14] UML - Fix boot crash

>From 7ca5503f5ee32fb3cd6aa6eca21a8edfe09a7717 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

My copying of linux/init.h didn't go far enough.  The definition of
__used singled out gcc minor version 3, but didn't care what the major
version was.  This broke when unit-at-a-time was added and gcc started
throwing out initcalls.

This results in an early boot crash when ptrace tries to initialize a
process with an empty, uninitialized register set.
