    xen/compiler: import 'fallthrough' keyword from linux
    
    -Wimplicit-fallthrough warns when a switch case falls through. Warning
    can be suppress by either adding a /* fallthrough */ comment, or by
    using a null statement: __attribute__ ((fallthrough))
    
    Define the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
    various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to null statement
    "__attribute__((__fallthrough__))"
    
    In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1,
    the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced.
    
    fallthrough devolves to an empty "do {} while (0)" if the compiler
    version (any version less than gcc 7) does not support the attribute.
