x86/sev: Disable jump tables in SEV startup code
When retpolines and IBT are both disabled, the compiler is free to use
jump tables to optimize switch instructions. However, these are emitted
by Clang as absolute references into .rodata:
jmp *-0x7dfffe90(,%r9,8)
R_X86_64_32S .rodata+0x170
Given that this code will execute before that address in .rodata has even
been mapped, it is guaranteed to crash a SEV-SNP guest in a way that is
difficult to diagnose.
So disable jump tables when building this code. It would be better if we
could attach this annotation to the __head macro but this appears to be
impossible.
