gcc supports an s390 specific function attribute called "hotpatch". It can be used to specify the number of halfwords that shall be added before and after a function that shall be filled with nops for runtime patching.
s390 will use the hotpatch attribute for function tracing, therefore introduce a nohotpatch define, depending on CC_USING_HOTPATCH, and add it to the existing notrace define.
