The patch is needed to keep all addresses PC-relative. Pseudoinstruction 'la' can be transformed to 'auipc/addi' or 'auipc/l{w|d}'. It depends on the .option directive: nopic and pic.
Right now, 'la' transforms to 'auipc/l{w|d}', which in case of cpu0_boot_stack[] will lead to the usage of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ where all addresses will be without counting that it might happen that linker address != load address. To be sure that SP is loaded always PC-relative address 'la' should be changed to 'lla', which always transforms to 'auipc/addi'.
