svn commit: r326202 - head/sys/conf

[Nathan Whitehorn]

Author: nwhitehorn

New Revision: 326202
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326202

Log:
  Automatically use the ELFv2 ABI on powerpc64 if supported by the compiler.
  This has the same effects on DDB working as -mcall=aixdesc, but also is
  supported by clang and marginally improves kernel performance.
