[PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Don't fortify prom_init

[Daniel Axtens]

prom_init is a bit special; in theory it should be able to be
linked separately to the kernel. To keep this from getting too
complex, the symbols that prom_init.c uses are checked.

Fortification adds symbols, and it gets quite messy as it includes
things like panic(). So just don't fortify prom_init.c for now.

This will need to go in before the main fortify support, but it
doesn't make any sense in the absence of fortify. I think it would
make most sense for Kees to queue this up with the main fortify patch,
with an Ack from mpe?
