I think it might be better to have a config option so that architectures 
can opt-in to skip objtool on asm files. We can then do:

diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.build b/scripts/Makefile.build
index 9f94fc83f08652..878027cf4faf37 100644
--- a/scripts/Makefile.build

      cmd_as_o_S = $(CC) $(a_flags) -c -o $@ $< $(cmd_objtool)
