Consider adding

  select ARCH_USES_CFI_GENERIC_LLVM_PASS if CC_IS_CLANG

to this change in case there are problems such as the one worked around
by commit c57f5fee54df ("libeth: xdp: Disable generic kCFI pass for
libeth_xdp_tx_xmit_bulk()"). Whenever clang grows an s390 backend
expansion for kCFI, that can be version gated pretty easily.

I will test this series fully next week.
