[PATCH 4/5] LLVMLinux: Add support for clang to compiler.h and new compiler-clang.h

From: behanw
Date: Tue Feb 25 2014 - 20:11:17 EST


From: Mark Charlebois <charlebm@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a compiler-clang.h file to add specific macros needed for compiling the
kernel with clang.

Initially the only override required is the macro for silencing the
compiler for a purposefully uninintialized variable.
