Still broken for me with allyesconfig.

gcc version 11.2.0 (Gentoo 11.2.0 p1)
GNU ld (Gentoo 2.37_p1 p0) 2.37

I still believe calling cc_platform_has() from __startup_64() is totally
broken as it lacks proper wrapping while accessing global variables.

I think sme_get_me_mask() has the same problem. I just happened to work
(until next compiler update).

This hack makes kernel boot again:
