Select CONFIG_HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for MIPS, allowing the
user to enable dead code elimination. In order for this to work, ensure
that we keep the data bus exception table & the machine list by
annotating them with KEEP.
This shrinks both 32r2el_defconfig & 64r6el_defconfig builds by ~6%, as
shown by numbers from scripts/bloat-o-meter:
| 32r2el_defconfig | 64r6el_defconfig
--------|------------------|------------------
No DCE | 8919864 | 8286307
DCE | 8338988 (-6.51%) | 7741808 (-6.57%)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
