Please replace the previous paragraph in the changelog by :

GCC < 4, on x86_64, does not accept symbol+offset operands for "i"
constraints asm statements. Fallback on a memory read in lieue of
immediate value if this compiler is detected.

As Peter pointed out, talking of "generic immediate value" is rather
confusing.

Hi Mathieu

As this is not kbuild related (except fom some minor details)
I do not plan to take this in kbuild.git.
I suggest to push it via Andrew.

You may add an Acked-by: from me though.
