    x86: move .altinstr_replacement past _einittext
    
    This section's contents do not represent part of actual hypervisor text,
    so shouldn't be included in what is_kernel_inittext() or (while still
    booting) is_active_kernel_text() report "true" for. Keep them in
    .init.text though, as there's no real reason to have a separate section
    for this in the final binary.
