Pull compiler attribute updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers
  and bring them up to date.

  The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
  (i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g.
  GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared,
  reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.

  Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
  which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a
  significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now
  only guarding a few non-attribute macros).

  This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the
  kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments
  have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now
  more readable, which should help kernel developers in general.

  The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this
  series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize
  __has_attribute on its own.

  Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also
  applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for
  unreachable() that came a bit afterwards"
