This will be used for local assembler functions, which do not want the
".globl" annotation. Sometimes we see:
===
.align 4
some_function:
...
ENDPROC(some_function)
===
which is not nice towards tools trying to analyze the assembly. (DWARF
generation in particular.)
So let us have ENTRY_LOCAL which is going to annotate these cases
including the alignment.
