Hey Mark,

During implementing ARCH_WARN_ASM for rust I broke the bug entry for
powerpc so I wrote this to verify. I sent it out mainly for ppc but
few people wanted that if it needed it should be done for all archs.
So separated this thing and sent it out as an RFC to check whether
other archs want this or not.
