x86, paravirt: prevent gcc from generating the wrong addressing mode
Impact: fix crash on VMI (VMware)
When we generate a call sequence for calling a paravirtualized
function, we presume that the generated code is "call *0xXXXXX",
which is a 6 byte opcode; this is larger than a normal
direct call, and so we can patch a direct call over it.
At the moment, however we give gcc enough rope to hang us by
putting the address in a register and generating a two byte
indirect-via-register call. Prevent this by explicitly
dereferencing the function pointer and passing it into the
asm as a constant.
This prevents crashes in VMI, as it cannot handle unpatchable
callsites.
