The compiler is unaware of the size of code generated by the ".rept"
assembler directive. This results in the compiler emitting branch
instructions where the offset to branch to exceeds the maximum allowed
value, resulting in build failures like the following:

Fix the issue by manually adding nop instructions using the preprocessor.

Hi Nysal,
This change looks good to me. I tested in on power and the error is not seen.
