From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Calling C code via a different mapping than it was linked at is
problematic, because the compiler assumes that RIP-relative and absolute
symbol references are interchangeable. GCC in particular may use
RIP-relative per-CPU variable references even when not using -fpic.
So call xen_prepare_pvh() via its kernel virtual mapping on x86_64, so
that those RIP-relative references produce the correct values. This
matches the pre-existing behavior for i386, which also invokes
xen_prepare_pvh() via the kernel virtual mapping before invoking
startup_32 with paging disabled again.
Fixes: 7243b93345f7 ("xen/pvh: Bootstrap PVH guest")
