yes there are cases where its used in inline assembly and compiler does not
have knob for security extentions. Here is one patch that will work with
binutils >= 2.21 but be away that it will NOT work with older binutils and
infact will render kernel uncompilable if you are not using binutils
atleast at version 2.21

Enjoy
