Subject[PATCH v1 4/5] powerpc: Remove cpu-as-y completely
Date
cpu-as-y is there to force assembler building options.
But there is no need for that. Gcc is passed the necessary
options and it automatically pass the appropriate option to
GAS.

GCC is given -maltivec when relevant, so no need
for -Wa,-maltivec in addition

And -Wa,-many is wrong as it will hide innapropriate
instructions. Better to detect them and handle them on a
case by case basis.
-Wa,-many was added by commit 960e30029863 ("powerpc/Makefile:
Fix PPC_BOOK3S_64 ASFLAGS") in order to fix an issue with
clang and the passed -Wa,-mpower4 option. But we have now
removed it expecting the compiler to automatically pass the
proper options and instructions based on -mcpu=power4
