This macro is to be used in assembly where C functions are called.
pcrel addressing mode requires branches to functions with a
localentry value of 1 to have either a trailing nop or @notoc.
This macro permits the latter without changing callers.

Objtool throws unannotated intra-function call warnings in the following
assembly files:

arch/powerpc/kernel/vector.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x53c: unannotated intra-function call

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x60: unannotated intra-function call

arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x64: unannotated intra-function call

Objtool does not add STT_NOTYPE symbols with size 0 to the rbtree, which
is why find_call_destination() function is not able to find the
destination symbol for 'bl' instruction. For such symbols, objtool is
throwing unannotated intra-function call warnings in assembly files. Fix
these warnings by annotating those symbols with SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL and
SYM_FUNC_END macros, inorder to set symbol type to STT_FUNC and symbol
size accordingly.

call_do_irq() and call_do_softirq() are simple enough to be
worth inlining.

Inlining them avoids an mflr/mtlr pair plus a save/reload on stack.

This is inspired from S390 arch. Several other arches do more or
less the same. The way sparc arch does seems odd thought.
