I think this works, but
I prefer no-semicolon in assembly files.

For coding consistency,
I want ';' as statement delimiter in .c files.
But, only new line after each statement in .S files.

For example, in arch/x86/xen/xen-head.S
I see no semicolon after ELFNOTE().

I found this:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0473k/dom1359731141352.html
It says ';' starts a comment line
although it is not the case of GAS.


Same for 3/4.
