Subject: [PATCH v3 26/28] objtool: Get the destination name of a PV call
Add a function to get the destination name of a PV call. The destination
depends on the content of the pv_ops[] array which can dynamically change
at runtime.
However there are cases where we can speculate on the content of pv_ops[]
and provide the function name corresponding to the call. For example,
when an alternative depends on the X86_FEATURE_XENPV feature then we know
that the corresponding code will be using the Xen pv_ops[] values.
If we can't figure out the exact content of pv_ops[] then provide the
function name from the default pv_ops[] array.
