Actually it doesn't work with all gcc.  I've got an older arm64 toolchain that I
only use for syntax checking (and hence I don't care if it is the latest and
greatest) and this commit breaks it:

arch/arm64/crypto/sha1-ce-glue.c:21:2: error: invalid 'asm': invalid
operand prefix '%c'
  asm(".globl " #sym "; .set " #sym ", %c0" :: "i"(val));

I'm currently reverting this change locally so I can continue to use the old
toolchain:

$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2013.12 - Linaro
GCC 2013.11) 4.8.3 20131202 (prerelease)

$ aarch64-linux-gnu-as --version
GNU assembler (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2013.12 - Linaro GCC
2013.11) 2.24.0.20131220
Copyright 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Maybe it is finally too old and nobody cares, but I thought it worth a mention.

Paul.
