It seems this series hasn't made it to the torvalds tree yet so the
compiler still issues complaints about __visible static functions.
Should I bring a patch removing the "static" from asmlinkage-annotated
functions, or is this patch the better way? Or have I missed something?

BTW some of the functions have already lost their asmlinkage, see
commit 8783dd3a37a5853689e1a8fa728827a50905b912 ("irqchip: Remove
asmlinkage from static functions") in torvalds tree and also recent
thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/16/453 ("[PATCH] crypto:
sha{256,512}_ssse3 - remove asmlinkage from static functions"), both of
them because "it issues warnings".
