Andi Kleen 9a858dc7ce compiler.h: add __visible
gcc 4.6+ has support for a externally_visible attribute that prevents the
optimizer from optimizing unused symbols away.  Add a __visible macro to
use it with that compiler version or later.

This is used (at least) by the "Link Time Optimization" patchset.

in the preprocessor, but we can live with this because they're unreleased.
