jgnop mnemonic is only available since binutils 2.36,
kernel minimal required version is 2.23. Stick to brcl
to avoid build errors.

Use readable nop instructions within the code which generates
the padding areas, instead of unreadable byte patterns.
The generated code is identical.

Add a header with macros usable in assembler files to emit alternative
code sequences. It works analog to the alternatives for inline assmeblies
in C files, with the same restrictions and capabilities.
The syntax is
ALTERNATIVE "<default instructions sequence>", \
"<alternative instructions sequence>", \
"<features-bit>"
and
ALTERNATIVE_2 "<default instructions sequence>", \
"<alternative instructions sqeuence #1>", \
"<feature-bit #1>",
"<alternative instructions sqeuence #2>", \
"<feature-bit #2>"
