[PATCH 2/4] powerpc/85xx: Remove -Wa,-me500

From: Scott Wood <hidden>
Date: 2013-08-21 02:13:40
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

This caused lwsync to be converted to sync on 64-bit (on 32-bit lwsync
is generated at runtime, and so wasn't affected).  Not using lwsync
caused a significant slowdown on certain workloads.

Setting this flag for any e500-enabled build is also not friendly to
multiplatform kernels.
