Thanks Michal,
I should add this version builds quite a bit slower than other LTO trees,
because the single pass kallsyms didn't quite make it, so the Link
Time Optimization is re-done 2-3 times if KALLSYMS is enabled. That
will be hopefully fixed next cycle.
LTO will always be somewhat slower than a normal build, but right now
it's a lot slower because of this, depending on the size of the vmlinux.
