Now that paravirt call patching is implemented using alternatives, it
is possible to avoid having to patch the alternative sites by
including the altinstr_replacement calls in the call_sites list.
This means we're now stacking relative adjustments like so:
callthunks_patch_builtin_calls():
patches all function calls to target: func() -> func()-10
since the CALL accounting lives in the CALL_PADDING.
This explicitly includes .altinstr_replacement
alt_replace_call():
patches: x86_BUG() -> target()
this patching is done in a relative manner, and will preserve
the above adjustment, meaning that with calldepth patching it
will do: x86_BUG()-10 -> target()-10
apply_relocation():
does code relocation, and adjusts all RIP-relative instructions
to the new location, also in a relative manner.
