[PATCH v2 0/2] 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.

Changes since v2:
  Prefer gnu_inline function attribute instead of explicitly setting C
  standard compiler flag in problematic Makefiles. We should instead
  carefully evaluate if those Makefiles should be overwriting
  KBUILD_CFLAGS at all. Dropped the previous first two patches and added
  a new first patch.
