Per my tests, yes we can; I replaced the fixup_*() functions with
GET_RIP_RELATIVE_PTR()/PTR_TO_RIP_RELATIVE_PTR(), and guests with and
without SEV, SEV-ES, and SEV-SNP all successfully booted under both
clang and gcc builds. I have a slight preference for sending that as a
separate follow-up commit, but please let me know if you feel
differently. Thanks.

I used macros because we need to use both the global variable itself
and the global variable's string name (obtained via #var in the macro)
in the inline assembly. As a secondary reason, the macro also avoids
the need to provide separate functions for each type of variable for
which we'd like to get RIP-relative pointers (ex: u64, unsigned int,
unsigned long, etc.).
