This macros are also the problem for gcc and ld.bfd if we try to
enable LTO.

The patch below uses trick with undefining mrs_s/msr_s immediately
after use to solve the problem. It works for both gcc and clang.

There's the series from Andi Kleen that enables LTO for Linux on x86:
https://lwn.net/Articles/512548/
https://github.com/andikleen/linux-misc/tree/lto-411-1

It has solved many problems you also try to solve, and some patches
are looking very similar. 

At now we have different patchsets for gcc and clang, and it would be
better to have them together. One thing I'm worried is that you introduce
CONFIG_CLANG_LTO and use it for all cases, including that where more
generic CONFIG_LTO should be used.

I think we'd also discuss it here.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: make mrs_s and msr_s macros work with LTO

Use UNDEFINE_MRS_S and UNDEFINE_MSR_S to define corresponding macros
in-place and workaround gcc and clang limitations on redefining macros
across different assembler blocks.
