The next patch adds DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE(), which broke several
subtrees, including efi, vdso, and some of arch/*/boot/compressed,
with various relocation errors, iirc.

Avoid those problems by adding a define to suppress the "transparent"
DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE() invocation.  I found the x86 problems
myself, lkp@intel.com found arm & sparc problems, and may yet find
others.
Given that I was only cc'ed on this patch in isolation, would you mind
adding more clarification here? What is DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE()
supposed to do, and why is it breaking standalone binaries?
