[PATCH]: further shrinking of boot2

[David Chisnall]

Fir the clang 3.4 import, I had some patches (that never got applied), which used clang -O0 and then opt with some custom optimisation order to get a reasonable size saving.  It might be worth trying that, so that future changes to the default optimisation order don't make things worse again.
