I expect this could be further abstracted such that only the actual
instruction is arch-specific.

"i" is not generally an issue with PIE, it only is when the value is the
address of a symbol. Here "type" is a constant in all cases. (Or else
how would you express an immediate operand of an instruction in an
asm()?)
