Looks like it started doing that with gcc-5. gcc-4.9 output looks fine here:

        .globl  x86_64_start_kernel
        .type   x86_64_start_kernel, @function
x86_64_start_kernel:
.LFB2013:
        .loc 1 134 0

        pushq   %rbp    #
        .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
        .cfi_offset 6, -16
        movq    %rsp, %rbp      #,
        .cfi_def_cfa_register 6
        pushq   %rbx    #
        .cfi_offset 3, -24
        .loc 1 134 0
        movq    %rdi, %rbx      # real_mode_data, real_mode_data
