Jan Beulich 4269329090 x86-64: Slightly shorten copy_page()
%r13 got saved and restored without ever getting touched, so
there's no need to do so.

Andy Lutomirski 59e97e4d6f x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative
This save a few bytes on x86-64 and means that future patches can
apply alternatives to unrelocated code.

H. Peter Anvin 83a7a2ad2a x86, alternatives: Use 16-bit numbers for cpufeature index
We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number
for the alternatives index.  This consumes a padding field and so
doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to
create assembly errors on overflow no longer works.  We can retain the
test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however.

[ v3: updated to include open-coded locations ]
