That does not help, we will still have overlap between copied Zo
vmlinux and decompressed Vo vmlinux

because the Zo vmlinux is copied to middle of buffer instead of end of
the buffer.

definition:
Zo vmliunx: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux, from
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds.S
Vo vmlinux: vmlinux from arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S

BTW, found more problem about run_size for kaslr, we should use
init_size instead.

Here the three patches that should go into v4.0. Help Ingo will be
happy with updated change log.

Thanks

Yinghai
