Enable compilation with -fwhole-program for initram. The setting can be
chosen via Kconfig. Default off.
Depending on the target, this saves between 10% and 20% of initram size.
Compilation still broken for:
- ADL MSM800SEV
- Gigabyte M57SLI
Compilation changed for:
- AMD DB800 (checker doesn't trigger anymore, but we get an unresolved
symbol instead)
- AMD Norwich (same)
(The compilation changes are not bad per se, just a bit misleading. It
seems that gcc is really smart.)
Compilation OK for:
- AMD Serengeti
- Artec DBE61
- Artec DBE62
- PCEngines Alix.1C
- PCEngines Alix.2C3
