I tried giving this a go, but I got the build failure below:

I'm using the Linaro 15.08 x86_64 aarch64-linux-gnu- cross toolchain. I believe
that can be found at:

https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.1-2015.08/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz

Unfortunately, due to that (and lack of a good testcase), I can't give
much substantial feedback on this.

It might be better to say "Report forcefully initialized variables", to make it
clear that this is only reporting initialization performed by the plugin.

It's my understanding that some architectures do link against libgcc, so we
might want some kind of guard to avoid mishaps. e.g.
ARCH_CAN_USE_NON_GPLV3_GCC_PLUGINS.

Has this been modified at all in the porting process? Maybe it would be
good to include KERNELVERSION here?

I assume that this is only guaranteed to initialise fields in a struct,
and not padding, is that correct? I ask due to the issue described in:

https://lwn.net/Articles/417989/

As a further step, it would be interesting to see if we could fix
padding for __user variables, but that certainly shouldn't hold this
back.
