powerpc: Work around inline asm issues in alternate feature sections
The clang toolchain treats inline assembly a bit differently than straight assembly code. In particular, inline assembly doesn't have the complete context available to resolve expressions. This is intentional to avoid divergence in the resulting assembly code. We can work around this issue by borrowing a workaround done for ARM, i.e. not directly testing the labels themselves, but by moving the current output pointer by a value that should always be zero. If this value is not null, then we will trigger a backward move, which is explicitly forbidden.
