RE: [PATCH v4 1/2] arm: lib: xor-neon: remove unnecessary GCC < 4.6 warning

Drop warning because kernel now requires GCC >= v4.9 after
commit 6ec4476ac825 ("Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9")
and clarify that -ftree-vectorize now always needs enabling
for GCC by directly testing the presence of CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC.
...
-#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 6)
+#ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC
 #pragma GCC optimize "tree-vectorize"
-#else
I thought that #pragma optimise was very likely to remove
a random subset of the command line parameters leading to
incorrect/unexpected code.

As such the extra option needs to passed in as a per source
file compiler option.
