Subject: [PATCH 4.9 14/59] kbuild: fix asm-offset generation to work with clang

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jeroen Hofstee <jeroen@...pectrum.nl>

commit cf0c3e68aa81f992b0301f62e341b710d385bf68 upstream.

KBuild abuses the asm statement to write to a file and
clang chokes about these invalid asm statements. Hack it
even more by fooling this is actual valid asm code.

[masahiro:
 Import Jeroen's work for U-Boot:
 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/375026/
 Tweak sed script a little to avoid garbage '#' for GCC case, like
 #define NR_PAGEFLAGS 23 /* __NR_PAGEFLAGS       # */ ]
