Subject: [PATCH v5 05/16] x86/startup_64: Use RIP_REL_REF() to access early
 page tables

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>

The early statically allocated page tables are populated from code that
executes from a 1:1 mapping so it cannot use plain accesses from C.
Replace the use of fixup_pointer() with RIP_REL_REF(), which is better
and simpler.
