How do you build a LTO kernel ?

This patch adds sparse warnings, see
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1055875/

Your text might be confusion. When I read it the first time I thought
you were saying that the compiler was now using another GPR than r13.

I guess the same has to be done for current, see
arch/powerpc/include/asm/current.h :

/*
* We keep `current' in r2 for speed.
*/
register struct task_struct *current asm ("r2");

Why moving this down, why not leaving at the same place as before ?

If you really need to move it, you should remove the 'extern' at the
same time to make checkpatch happy.

Should be a blank line there.

Blank line should be added here.
