[PATCH] powerpc: build time sort extable

2016-10-07 Thread Nicholas Piggin
Can we just switch this on? Powerpc does not use relative extables (that's a nice exercise left for the reader), so it should just use the standard sort. This patch seems to work, famous last words... Sorting probably only takes a few ms on any real hardware, but on on very large kernel configs,
