ISTR suggestion you add an objtool pass that verifies there are no
absolute text references left. Otherwise we'll forever be chasing that
last one..

Correct, I have a reference in the changelog saying I will tackle in
the next patchset because we still have non-pie references in other
places but the fix is a bit more complex (for exemple per-cpu) and not
included in this phase. I will add a better explanation in the next
message for patch v11.
