Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Resolve -Wattribute-alias warnings from SYSCALL_DEFINEx()

This series introduces infrastructure allowing compiler diagnostics to
be disabled or their severity modified for specific pieces of code, with
suitable abstractions to prevent that code from becoming tied to a
specific compiler.

This infrastructure is then used to disable the -Wattribute-alias
warning around syscall definitions, which rely on type mismatches to
sanitize arguments.

Finally PowerPC-specific #pragma's are removed now that the generic code
is handling this.

The series takes Arnd's RFC patches & addresses the review comments they
received. The most notable effect of this series to to avoid warnings &
build failures caused by -Wattribute-alias when compiling the kernel
with GCC 8.

Applies cleanly atop v4.18-rc1.

Thanks,
    Paul
