Adding Sathvika and Christophe.

The short term fix would be something like the below, but...

If powerpc objtool is only doing mcount, does it even make sense to run
objtool on asm files? If so, there are probably a lot more cleanups
needed for the asm code.

So I'm thinking either we should cleanup all the powerpc asm code with
annotations like below, or we should try to make objtool mcount-mode
ignore asm files.
