From: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>
Starting from gcc-5.4+ gcc generates MLX
instructions in more cases to refer local
symbols:
https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60465
That caused ia64 module loader to choke
on such instructions:
fuse: invalid slot number 1 for IMM64
Linux kernel used to handle only case where
relocation pointed to slot=2 instruction in
the bundle. That limitation was fixed in linux by
commit 9c184a073bfd ("[IA64] Fix 2.6 kernel for the new ia64 assembler")
See http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1433
This change lifts the slot=2 restriction from
linux kernel module loader.
Tested on 'fuse' and 'btrfs' kernel modules.

Hi,
Backported and successfully tested on currently stable Gentoo kernel 4.9.6-r1.
>From [1], gcc 4.9.4 was first problematic release.
