[RFC v2 15/23] x86/boot/64: Use _text in a global for PIE support

By default PIE generated code create only relative references so _text points to the temporary virtual address. Instead use a global variable so the relocation is done as expected. Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extended the KASLR randomization range below the -2G memory limit.
