[PATCH] Do not inline putprops function

[M. Mohan Kumar]

Hi,

When I align the dtstruct variable to 8 bytes, I am able to invoke kdump.

When the line
	static unsigned dtstruct[TREEWORDS], *dt;
changed to 
	static unsigned dtstruct[TREEWORDS] __attribute__ ((aligned (8))), *dt;

kexec-tool works.

Regards,
M. Mohan Kumar
