[resend due to mailer problems]
RELOC_HIDE got miscompiled on gcc3.1/x86-64 in the access to softirq.c's per
cpu variables. This patch fixes the problem.
Clearly to hide the relocation the addition needs to be done after the
value obfuscation, not before.
I don't know if it triggers on other architectures (x86-64 is especially
stressf here because it has negative kernel addresses), but seems like the
right thing to do.
Also does the arithmetic in unsigned long to avoid undue assumptions of the
comp for pointers.
