[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] x86: fix clang .macro retention check

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

There were two problems here: The first closing parentheses got parsed
by make to end the $(call invocation, and the escaping of the quotes
wasn't right either, as there's nowhere they would get un-escaped.

Furthermore there appears to be a puzzling problem with \n getting
expanded to an actual newline too early in some environments. Convert
these to semicolons at the same time.

v2: Also replace \n by semicolons.

This needs to be tested in an environment where this was actually found
to matter; I can't see how it can have worked in its former shape. I
also don't understand why the same commit introducing the check that
gets fixed here put the .skip check in xen/Rules.mk - the only use of
.skip that I can spot is in x86 code.
