Instead of relocate the value at that position compute it
entirely and write it.
During EFI boots sym_offs(SYMBOL) are potentially relocated
causing the values to be corrupted.
For PVH and BIOS the change won't be necessary but keep the
code consistent.

As already hinted at in a reply to an earlier patch - there are ample
further uses of sym_offs(). Imo we need to sort them all in one go,
not by hacking use sites individually. Which hopefully can be done by
simply calculating %esi correctly.
