Sorry. I've now applied the binutils 2.27 patch from Naveen, and this on
top with minor tweaks to make it apply. The result is in my next branch.

In my understanding,
For a BFD linker, use --save-restore-funcs.
Otherwise (i.e. CONFIG_LD_IS_BFD is unset), link

Yeah, doesn't seem too difficult to add new linker version tests if needed.

Does LLVM support --save-restore-funcs and supply .sfpr already I

For LLD, CONFIG option is directly checked.

ppc kernels fail to link with 2.27 under some configurations:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/388
We may want to use ld-ifversion to exclude that version.

[PATCH] powerpc: remove checks for binutils older than 2.25
Commit e4412739472b ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of
binutils to 2.25") allows us to remove the checks for old binutils.
There is no more user for ld-ifversion. Remove it as well.
