Here we just put the `rip-relative` address to the `rbp` register and than subtract `$_text - __START_KERNEL_map` from it. We know that compiled address of the `_text` is `0xffffffff81000000` and `__START_KERNEL_map` contains `0xffffffff81000000`, so `rbp` will contain physical address of the `text` - `0x1000000` after this calculation. We need to calculate it because kernel can be runned not on the default address, but now we know actual physical address.

Here we need to correct `early_level4_pgt` and other addresses of the page table directories, because as I wrote above, kernel can be runned not at the default `0x1000000` address. `rbp` register contains actuall address so we add to the `early_level4_pgt`, `level3_kernel_pgt` and `level2_fixmap_pgt`.
