[PATCH 6/7] um: Simplify STUB_DATA loading

From: Richard Weinberger
Date: Mon Oct 26 2015 - 05:49:21 EST


As long STUB_DATA fits into 32bits we can use a plain mov.
If it will grow at some point in future we will switch to movabsq.
In any case the code is smaller and more easy to read
than the current one
