Ew, yes, this is bad. I hadn't seen setup_data while designing the
mem_avoid stuff. I don't like the fixed 32 entry size here, so let me
consider some options. I think the mem_avoid logic can just walk the
setup_data list itself, since that's what it's for. :)
Does only kexec use this? I assume other boot loaders must be using this
too. Is there an easy test case for validating this is fixed?

Here's an alternative... can you test it?

Subject: x86, kaslr: avoid setup_data when choosing kernel location
The KASLR location-choosing logic needs to avoid the setup_data list
areas as well.
