From: Alexander Lobakin <alexandr.lobakin@intel.com>

After commit ce697ccee1a8 ("kbuild: remove head-y syntax"), I
started digging whether x86 is ready for removing this old cruft.
Removing its objects from the list makes the kernel unbootable.
This applies only to bzImage, vmlinux still works correctly.
The reason is that with no strict object order determined by the
linker arguments, not the linker script, startup_64 can be placed
not right at the beginning of the kernel.
Here's vmlinux.map's beginning before removing:

ffffffff81000000         vmlinux.o:(.head.text)
ffffffff81000000                 startup_64
ffffffff81000070                 secondary_startup_64
ffffffff81000075                 secondary_startup_64_no_verify
ffffffff81000160                 verify_cpu

and after:

ffffffff81000000         vmlinux.o:(.head.text)
ffffffff81000000                 pvh_start_xen
ffffffff81000080                 startup_64
ffffffff810000f0                 secondary_startup_64
ffffffff810000f5                 secondary_startup_64_no_verify

Not a problem itself, but the self-extractor code has the address of
that function hardcoded the beginning, not looking onto the ELF
header, which always contains the address of startup_{32,64}().

So, instead of doing an "act of blind faith", just take the address
from the ELF header and extract a relative offset to the entry
point. The decompressor function already returns a pointer to the
beginning of the kernel to the Asm code, which then jumps to it,
so add that offset to the return value.
This doesn't change anything for now, but allows to resign from the
"head object list" for x86 and makes sure valid Kbuild or any other
improvements won't break anything here in general.
