x86-64: Reduce SMP locks table size
Reduce the SMP locks table size by using relative pointers instead of absolute ones, thus cutting the table size by half. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> LKML-Reference: <4BCF30FE020000780003B3B6@vpn.id2.novell.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
