Subject: [PATCH] x86: turn off -fcf-protection for realmode

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The new Ubuntu gcc packages turn on -fcf-protection globally,
which causes a build failure in the x86 realmode code:

cc1: error: ‘-fcf-protection’ is not compatible with this target

Turn it off explicitly on compilers that understand this option.
