Revert "x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"
This reverts commit 86b1e8dd83cb ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"). Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch. The real solution to the original patch will likely involve an arch-generic solution to define an overlaid jiffies_64 and jiffies variables. Until that's done and tested on all architectures revert this commit to solve the regression. Reported-and-bisected-by: Markus Trippelsdorf <markus@trippelsdorf.de> Acked-by: "H.
