Merge branch 'x86-build-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 build updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change is the forcing of asm-goto support on x86, which
  effectively increases the GCC minimum supported version to gcc-4.5 (on
  x86)"

* 'x86-build-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/build: Don't pass in -D__KERNEL__ multiple times
  x86: Remove FAST_FEATURE_TESTS
  x86: Force asm-goto
  x86/build: Drop superfluous ALIGN from the linker script
