This started as an experiment to see how hard it would be to change
the four pointers in struct _ddebug into relative offsets, a la
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS, thus saving 16 bytes per
pr_debug site (and thus exactly making up for the extra space used by
the introduction of jump labels in 9049fc74). I stumbled on a few
things that are probably worth fixing regardless of whether the latter
half of this series is deemed worthwhile.
Patch relationships: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 15-16 can be applied
individually, though 2, 4 and 6 probably makes most sense in the
context of the final goal of the series.
7-12 I believe make sense on their own. Patch 13 again only makes
sense if we go all the way, and 14 and 17 depend on 13.
18-21 are more preparatory patches, and finally 22 switch over x86-64
to use CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS. I've tested that the
end result boots under virtme and that the dynamic_debug control file
has the expected contents.
