No idea, PowerPC is the only architecture that does such a thing.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.S#n43

Goes back all the way to before git history (all the way to ppc64's
addition actually):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=61542216fa90397a2e70c46583edf26bc81994df

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/arch/ppc64/xmon/setjmp.c?id=5f12b0bff93831620218e8ed3970903ecb7861ce

I would just like this warning fixed given that PowerPC builds with
-Werror by default so it is causing a build failure in our CI.

Cheers,
