Not really: so this is enabled by CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO and there are two
options: we make CONFIG_READABLE_ASM depend on it which makes people
answer a couple more questions or we simply add it to the command
building the .s file.

I say we do the second thing:

Subject: [PATCH -v1.1] Kbuild: Check for CONFIG_READABLE_ASM when building .s targets

We do need to look at the asm output of c files for various reasons. In
order to do so, we do make <path-to-filename>.s.

However, it can happen that the Kconfig option which enables the
creation of readable asm CONFIG_READABLE_ASM is disabled.

So issue a warning that the asm output might not be optimally readable
if that option is disabled.

Additionally, add the -g switch to the .s build command so that gcc
issues line numbers too.
