[PATCH binutils 1/4] aarch64: add STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS and DT_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS

[Szabolcs Nagy]

The bottom 2 bits of st_other are used for visibility, the top 6 bits are
de facto reserved for processor specific use.  This patch defines a
bits to mark function symbols that follow a variant procedure call standard
with different register usage convention.

A dynamic tag is also defined that marks modules with R_<CLS>_JUMP_SLOT
relocations referencing symbols marked with STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS.
This can be used by dynamic linkers that support lazy binding to decide
what registers need to be preserved during symbol resolution.
