[PATCH 0/3] extern inline native_save_fl for paravirt

[Nick Desaulniers]

paravirt depends on a custom calling convention (callee saved), but
expects this from a static inline function that it then forces to be
outlined. This is problematic because different compilers or flags can
then add a stack guard that violates the calling conventions.

Uses extern inline with the out-of-line definition in assembly to
prevent compilers from adding stack guards to the outlined version.

Other parts of the codebase overwrite KBUILD_CFLAGS, which is *extremely
problematic* for extern inline, as the sematics are completely the
opposite depending on what C standard is used.
