I think this wants splitting into one patch replacing sym_offs() and a
2nd one introducing the hand-crafted __XEN_VIRT_START additions (which
may want macro-izing). Plus the justification for the change wants
extending, to actually explain what the problem is - after all there's
no issue anywhere right now.

With the sym_offs() uses gone, I think it would be best if the macro was
#undef-ed ahead of the inclusion of trampoline.S. Since x86_64.S uses the
macro, that'll require careful re-arrangement of #include order.

For the cases where in assembly code you add __XEN_VIRT_START this is pretty
odd: You subtract the value here just to add it back there. Did you consider
a more straightforward approach, like introducing absolute xxx_va symbols?

Also, as a general request: Can you please become used to adding meaningful
subject prefixes to your patches?
