The first 7 patches are cleanup and minor bugfixes on the x86 KASLR
code.

The last one is a bit of an RFC. The memory regions used for KASLR are
stored as 64-bit even on a 32-bit kernel. However there are still a few
local variables that are 32-bit, but should be ok as far as I can see
because they are assigned values that have been already limited to
32-bit. It does make it a little harder to verify that the code is
correct. Since KASLR cannot actually use 64-bit regions for the 32-bit
kernel, the patch reduces regions to their below-4G segment when
creating them, making the actual variables 32-bit. Alternatively, the
few local variables could be upgraded to 64-bit.

v1->v2:
- Fix a bug in the bugfix 5/8: overlap.start can be smaller than
  region.start, so shouldn't subtract before comparing.

Arvind Sankar (8):
  x86/kaslr: Make command line handling safer
  x86/kaslr: Remove bogus warning and unnecessary goto
  x86/kaslr: Fix process_efi_entries comment
  x86/kaslr: Initialize mem_limit to the real maximum address
  x86/kaslr: Simplify __process_mem_region
  x86/kaslr: Simplify process_gb_huge_pages
  x86/kaslr: Clean up slot handling
  x86/kaslr: Don't use 64-bit mem_vector for 32-bit kernel
