x86/boot: Drop RIP_REL_REF() uses from early mapping code
Now that __startup_64() is built using -fPIC, RIP_REL_REF() has become a NOP and can be removed. Only some occurrences of rip_rel_ptr() will remain, to explicitly take the address of certain global structures in the 1:1 mapping of memory. While at it, update the code comment to describe why this is needed. Signed-off-by:Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:
