Subject: [PATCH 32/46] x86/realmode, lto: Disable gcc LTO for real mode code

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The early real mode bootup code makes various assumptions that break
with LTO. For example it assumes that top level assembler statements
don't get reordered. Disable LTO for the real mode code.
