[llvmlinux] Kernel clang patches rebased to master

FWIW, I moved back to clang/llvm 3.9.1, and with that the kernel booted
fine and appeared to be stable. So the issue I saw seems clang 4.0
specific. Not sure how I should go about isolating the issue, I guess I
could "bisect compile" the kernel somehow...

It compiles fine now, boot looks good but as soon as user space kicks in the kernel crashes with "Unable to handle kernel paging request" at fairly random places. The same source tree works fine with gcc. I need to further debug it, but in case you have ideas...
