4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Matthias Kaehlcke <m...@chromium.org>
clang raises 'asm-operand-widths' warnings in inline assembly code when
the size of an operand is < 64 bits and the operand width is unspecified.
Most warnings are raised in macros, i.e. the datatype of the operand may
vary.

nc: I trimmed the original commit message since I'm not a part of CrOS
and can't speak on their behalf.
To fix these warnings, it requires a fairly intrusive backport of
the sysreg conversion that Mark Rutland did in 4.9. I think
disabling the warning is smarter, similar to commit d41d0fe374d4
("turn off -Wattribute-alias") in this tree.
