David Rientjes 0d7ebbbc6e compiler: introduce __used and __maybe_unused
__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc
compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they
are referenced only in inline assembly.  It is defined to be
__attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still
emitted for such functions.

__maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function
and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation
of preprocessor macros.  Function prototypes shall be marked with
__maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on
preprocessor macros.

No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both
__attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc
manual.

__attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current
code is converted to using __used.
