x86/paravirt: Use %rip-relative addressing in hook calls
While using a plain (constant) address works, its use needlessly invokes a SIB addressing mode, making every call site one byte larger than necessary: ff 14 25 98 89 42 82 call *0xffffffff82428998 Instead of using an "i" constraint with address-of operator and a 'c' operand modifier, simply use an ordinary "m" constraint, which the 64-bit compiler will translate to %rip-relative addressing: ff 15 62 fb d2 00 call *0xd2fb62(%rip) # ffffffff82428998 <pv_ops+0x18> This way the compiler is also told the truth about operand usage - the memory location gets actually read, after all. 32-bit code generation is unaffected by the change.
