Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: Wrap literal addresses in absolute_pointer()

GCC 11 (incorrectly[1]) assumes that literal values cast to (void *)
should be treated like a NULL pointer with an offset, and raises
diagnostics when doing bounds checking under -Warray-bounds. GCC 12
got "smarter" about finding these:

In function 'rdfs8',
    inlined from 'vga_recalc_vertical' at /srv/code/arch/x86/boot/video-mode.c:124:29,
    inlined from 'set_mode' at /srv/code/arch/x86/boot/video-mode.c:163:3:
/srv/code/arch/x86/boot/boot.h:114:9: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'u8[0]' {aka 'unsigned char[]'} [-Warray-bounds]
  114 |         asm volatile("movb %%fs:%1,%0" : "=q" (v) : "m" (*(u8 *)addr));
      |         ^~~

This has been solved in other places[2] already by using the recently
added absolute_pointer() macro. Do the same here.
