Subject: [PATCH 2/3] use POISON_POINTER_DELTA for poison pointers

TIMER_ENTRY_STATIC and TAIL_MAPPING are defined as poison pointers which
should point to nowhere.  Redefine them using POISON_POINTER_DELTA arithmetics
to make sure they really point to non-mappable area declared by the
target architecture.
