Some of our builders currently have an older version of GCC (v6) and
after this change I am seeing ...

   CC      arch/arm64/kvm/pauth.o
/tmp/ccohst0v.s: Assembler messages:

I know this is pretty old now and I am trying to get these builders
updated. However, the kernel docs still show that GCC v5.1 is
supported [0].
