Similar to the alternative patching, use relative reference for original
instruction rather than absolute one, which saves 8 bytes for one entry
on x86_64. And it could generate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation instead of
R_X86_64_64 relocation, which also reduces relocation metadata on
relocatable builds.

Would you please drop the algn parameter, too? It isn't needed anymore
as the alignment can be hard coded to be 4 now. This would need to be
adjusted in the _paravirt_alt() macro, too.

The corresponding C structure paravirt_patch_site is not packed, Before this,
its size is 16 bytes in x86_64，due to the alignment of 8 bytes. Now the alignment
is 4 bytes, so the size is 8 bytes.

OK, since the aligment is 4 bytes now, it seems that _ASM_ALIGN could
be dropped too?

Oh, I've looked at Linus' tree. You seem to have based your reasoning on
the tip/paravirt branch, which is fine.

That's what I meant with the adjustment of _paravirt_alt().
I wouldn't drop _ASM_ALIGN, but replace it with ".align 4".
