[RFC v4 05/18] objtool: special: Adapt special section handling

From: Raphael Gault
Date: Fri Aug 16 2019 - 08:24:50 EST


This patch abstracts the few architecture dependent tests that are
perform when handling special section and switch tables. It enables any
architecture to ignore a particular CPU feature or not to handle switch
tables.
