Re: [PATCH] x86/boot: use __noreturn instead of directly __attribute__ definition

"Depends", I'd say (no pun, and intended :).

This currently implicitly working constellation
might break both for:
- boot.h no longer requiring bitops.h
- bitops.h no longer including linux/compiler.h

IMHO explicitly #include:ing parts
which certain code does actively depend on after all
is both a "code honesty"
and a documentation issue ("Hmm, which interfaces does this implementation
depend on? Ah, yeah...")

Food for thought,

Andreas Mohr

P.S.: thanks for your contribution!
