Subject: [095/121] alpha: makefile: don't enforce small data model for 
 kernel builds

3.2.51-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit cd8d2331756751b6aeb855a3c9cb0a92fbd9c725 upstream.

Due to all of the goodness being packed into today's kernels, the
resulting image isn't as slim as it once was.

In light of this, don't pass -msmall-data to gcc, which otherwise results
in link failures due to impossible relocations when compiling anything but
the most trivial configurations.
