parisc: add CONFIG_MLONGCALLS option to enable linkage of huge vmlinux executables
When building a 64bit kernel which includes all necessary drivers and filesystems the vmlinux kernel often gets so huge, that the linker won't be able to resolve the branch stubs. This patch overcomes this limit by providing an option to compile the kernel with the -mlong-calls compiler option. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
