Hi,
I looked again into the llvm-bug #37512 and mentioned patches, so I
give this a 2nd try (see attached patchset).
Regards,

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] kbuild: clang: remove crufty HOSTCFLAGS
When compiling with `make CC=clang HOSTCC=clang`, I was seeing warnings
that clang did not recognize -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks for HOSTCC
targets. These were added in commit 61163efae020 ("kbuild: LLVMLinux:
Add Kbuild support for building kernel with Clang").
Clang does not support -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks, so adding it to
HOSTCFLAGS if HOSTCC is clang does not make sense.
It's not clear why the other warnings were disabled, and just for
HOSTCFLAGS, but I can remove them, add -Werror to HOSTCFLAGS and compile
with clang just fine.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] x86: xen: remove the use of VLAIS
Variable Length Arrays In Structs (VLAIS) is not supported by Clang, and
frowned upon by others.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/23/500
Here, the VLAIS was used because the size of the bitmap returned from
xen_mc_entry() depended on possibly (based on kernel configuration)
runtime sized data. Rather than declaring args as a VLAIS then calling
sizeof on *args, we calculate the appropriate sizeof args manually.
Further, we can get rid of the #ifdef's and rely on num_possible_cpus()
(thanks to a helpful checkpatch warning from an earlier version of this
patch).
