objtool: Detect missing __noreturn annotations
...
Most "unreachable instruction" warnings these days seem to actually be
the result of a missing __noreturn annotation. Add an explicit check
for that.

objtool: Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
...
When a warning is associated with a function, add an option to
disassemble that function.
This makes it easier for reporters to submit the information needed to
diagnose objtool warnings.

docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/
...
Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.
All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

objtool: Check that module init/exit function is an indirect call target
...
Some out-of-tree modules still do not use module_init() / module_exit()
macros and simply create functions with magic names init_module() and
cleanup_module() instead. As a result, these functions are not recognized
as indirect call targets by objtool and such module fails to load into an
IBT enabled kernel.
This old way is not even documented any more but it is cleaner to issue
a warning than to let the module fail on load without obvious reason.
