Some edk2 modules generate X86 machine code at module execution time by: - compiling "template" code with NASM at module build time, - linking the object code into the module, - and patching the immediate (constant) operands of some instructions when the module is executed. Add a helper function to BaseLib so that the C code performing the patching is easier to read and maintain. The implementation in this patch is taken mainly from Mike Kinney's mailing list messages at <http://mid.mail-archive.com/E92EE9817A31E24EB0585FDF735412F5B895C360@ORSMSX113.amr.corp.intel.com>, <http://mid.mail-archive.com/E92EE9817A31E24EB0585FDF735412F5B898BF66@ORSMSX112.amr.corp.intel.com>.
