CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is automatically enabled when
both CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE and HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
are enabled.
Therefore it is not possible to build kernel with broken gcc
and DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
IMHO, we need to allow to explicitely disable DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
if the compiler is broken to get around this build error.
We either need to define DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS as a proper
bool with description, help text, ... Or we need a way to
explicitely disable HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. Or something
like this.
