arm64: idreg-override: Prepare for place relative reloc patching

Browse source

The ID reg override handling code uses a rather elaborate data structure
that relies on statically initialized absolute address values in pointer
fields. This means that this code cannot run until relocation fixups
have been applied, and this is unfortunate, because it means we cannot
discover overrides for KASLR or LVA/LPA without creating the kernel
mapping and performing the relocations first.

This can be solved by switching to place-relative relocations, which can
be applied by the linker at build time. This means some additional
arithmetic is required when dereferencing these pointers, as we can no
longer dereference the pointer members directly.

So let's implement this for idreg-override.c in a preliminary way, i.e.,
convert all the references in code to use a special accessor that
produces the correct absolute value at runtime.
