Andrew Morton f1a60dbf68 [PATCH] gcc-4.1.0 is bust
Keith says

Compiling 2.6.19-rc6 with gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux), wait_hpet_tick is
optimized away to a never ending loop and the kernel hangs on boot in timer
setup.

0000001a <wait_hpet_tick>:
  1a:   55                      push   %ebp
  1b:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
  1d:   eb fe                   jmp    1d <wait_hpet_tick+0x3>

This is not a problem with gcc 3.3.5.  Adding barrier() calls to
wait_hpet_tick does not help, making the variables volatile does.

And the consensus is that gcc-4.1.0 is busted.  Suse went and shipped
gcc-4.1.0 so we cannot ban it.  Add a warning.
