I've zapped cc34e658c6db from tip:x86/boot for the time being.

I have the same request as for the other patches applies, please split 
it up into ~3 patches for better bisectability and ease of review:

 - first the mechanic movement of code, with very few changes (if the 
   result builds & boots),

 - then drop the RIP_REL_REF() uses in the second patch,

 - and drop __head annotations in the third patch.

Thanks,

	Ingo
