Its not RIP relative, &steal_time lives in the .data..percpu section and
is absolute in that.

Well kvm_steal_time is (host/guest) ABI anyway, so the offset is fixed
and hard-coding it isn't a problem.

$ readelf -s defconfig-build/vmlinux | grep steal_time
100843: 0000000000017ac0 64 OBJECT WEAK DEFAULT 35 steal_time

$ objdump -dr defconfig-build/vmlinux | awk '/[<][^>]*[>]:/ { o=0 } /[<]__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted[>]:/ {o=1} { if (o) print $0 }'

ffffffff810b4496: 5d pop %rbp
ffffffff810b4497: c3 retq


And as you'll note, the displacement is correct and 'small'.

The below relies on the 'extra' cast in PVOP_CALL_ARG1() to extend the
argument to 64bit on the call side of things.
