Subject: [PATCH v2 04/18] arm64: use -mno-implicit-float instead of -mgeneral-regs-only

From: Greg Hackmann <ghackmann@...gle.com>

LLVM bug 30792 causes clang's AArch64 backend to crash compiling
arch/arm64/crypto/aes-ce-cipher.c.  Replacing -mgeneral-regs-only with
-mno-implicit-float is the suggested workaround.

Signed-off-by: Greg Hackmann <ghackmann@...gle.com>
Cc: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@...omium.org>
[added cc-ifversion to enable the workaround only for clang <6.0]
