After we have the basic support of relocate the kernel in some
appropriate place, we can start to randomize the offset now.
Entropy is derived from the banner and timer, which will change every
build and boot. This not so much safe so additionally the bootloader may
pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed node in device tree.
We will use the first 512M of the low memory to randomize the kernel
image. The memory will be split in 64M zones. We will use the lower 8
bit of the entropy to decide the index of the 64M zone. Then we chose a
16K aligned offset inside the 64M zone to put the kernel in.
We also check if we will overlap with some areas like the dtb area, the
initrd area or the crashkernel area. If we cannot find a proper area,
kaslr will be disabled and boot from the original kernel.
Some pieces of code are derived from arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr.c or
arch/arm64/kernel/kaslr.c such as rotate_xor(). Credit goes to Kees and

This patch add support to boot kernel from places other than KERNELBASE.
Since CONFIG_RELOCATABLE has already supported, what we need to do is
map or copy kernel to a proper place and relocate. Freescale Book-E
parts expect lowmem to be mapped by fixed TLB entries(TLB1). The TLB1
entries are not suitable to map the kernel directly in a randomized
region, so we chose to copy the kernel to a proper place and restart to
relocate.
The offset of the kernel was not randomized yet(a fixed 64M is set). We
will randomize it in the next patch.
