From 9b3965f7401b0cc3ed2c228085a4c13b1c9243b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 11:21:21 +0000 Subject: x86, boot: Use __attribute__((used)) to ensure videocard structs are emitted It looks like GCC will always emit an object that is marked with an explicit section, although the documentation doesn't say that and we possibly shouldn't be relying on it. Clang does *not* do so, so add __attribute__((used)) to make sure.
