AArch64: Reformat inline-asm in elf_machine_load_address
This patch reformats the inline-asm in elf_machine_load_address so it is easier to change only part of the inline-asm. That is using string concatenating instead of string continuation. Also document why this inline-asm works - it depends on the 32bit relocation being resolved at link time. ChangeLog: 2014-11-21 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> Andrew Pinski <andrew.pinski@caviumnetworks.com> * sysdeps/aarch64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_load_address): Refactor inline-asm. Also add comment.
