[PATCH] Delete every useless reference to NORET_TYPE in the tree.
From: Robert P. J. Day
Date: Tue May 22 2007 - 13:37:36 EST
Delete every reference to NORET_TYPE in the tree, based on the
explanation found here:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9605/1957.html
which shows that that macro hasn't had a value since gcc-2.2.5, when
it was defined to equal "__volatile__".

while there may be other cleanups that can be done at the same time
in the vicinity of the patches below, i'd really like to just go with
this for now to keep this as one logical patch that (theoretically)
has no effect on the actual build of the tree. other kinds of cleanup
will be submitted as future patches.
(simply assuming that developers were using NORET_TYPE to mean
__noreturn can't be right, as there are cases where you can see that
some developers were using both NORET_TYPE and ATTRIB_NORET at the
same time. so i'm just not going down that road right now.)
this patch was compile-tested with "make allyesconfig", and the
output between the two builds was "diff"ed to show that the only
difference from the original build to the patched one was the
following:

am i safe to assume that that's only the difference in the symbol
table due to the removal of that macro? 'cuz if it's anything more
significant, then i'm confused.
