Fix for gcc bug 61144

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61144 for details.

This patch is taken from the gcc repository and should be obsoleted by a gcc release after 4.9.1

The problem is severe enough (at least from my point of view) to need this patch until the next gcc release is available.

gcc: Patch for gcc bug 61144.

This fixes gcc bug 6144, which in my case exhibited itself as a kernel module that failed to load. This was because static platform_data structures were being corrupted with the optimiser being set to any value other than -O0.
