Subject: [RFC/RFT PATCH 09/19] x86/pm-trace: Use RIP-relative accesses for .tracedata

Use RIP-relative accesses and 32-bit offsets for .tracedata, to avoid
the need for relocation fixups at boot time. This is a prerequisite for
PIE linking, which only permits 64-bit wide loader-visible absolute
references.
