Step (1) is rejected because they've found some issue with copy
relocation impossible to be solved (there is a plan to drop copy
relocation from other architectures as well).  This is a modification of
(2): we add -mdirect-extern-access, but without copy relocation it can
only be used by kernel, static executable, etc. so it's not the default.

In kernel we just use KBUILD_CFLAGS_KERNEL += -mdirect-extern-access. 
For modules we use GOT until we can get rid of XKPRANGE.
