Subject: [PATCH v10 11/11] x86/alternatives: Adapt assembly for PIE support

Change the assembly options to work with pointers instead of integers.
The generated code is the same PIE just ensures input is a pointer.

Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extend the
KASLR randomization range below 0xffffffff80000000.
