Subject[PATCH] x86: work around clang IAS bug referencing __force_order
Date
When using the clang integrated assembler, we get a reference
to __force_order that should normally get ignored in a few
rare cases:

ERROR: modpost: "__force_order" [drivers/cpufreq/powernow-k6.ko] undefined!

Add a 'static' definition so any file in which this happens can
have a local copy.
