early_top_pgt[] is assigned from code that executes from a 1:1 mapping so it cannot use a plain access from C. Replace the use of fixup_pointer() with RIP_REL_REF(), which is better and simpler. For legibility and to align with the code that populates the lower page table levels, statically initialize the root level page table with an entry pointing to level3_kernel_pgt[], and overwrite it when needed to enable 5-level paging.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
