[PATCH] x86: Detect CFI support in the assembler at runtime
... instead of using a CONFIG option. The config option still controls if the resulting executable actually has unwind information. This is useful to prevent compilation errors when users select CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND on old binutils and also allows to use CFI in the future for non kernel debugging applications.

The second argument is optional, and if supplied will be used
if first argument is not supported.
+ as-instr
+ as-instr checks if the assembler reports a specific instruction
+ and then outputs either option1 or option2

cc-option
cc-option is used to check if $(CC) supports a given option, and not
supported to use an optional second option.
