[PATCH] Move -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm to powerpc only

[Andi Kleen]

Move -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm to powerpc only

Better dwarf2 unwind information is a good thing, it allows better
debugging with kgdb and crash and helps systemtap.

commit 003086497f07f7f1e67c0c295e261740f822b377 disabled some CFI
information globally to work around a module loader bug on powerpc.

But this disables the better unwind tables for all architectures,
not just powerpc. Move the workaround to powerpc and also 
add a suitable comment that's it really a workaround.

This improves dwarf2 unwind tables on x86 at least.
