Subject: [PATCH 0/6] x86, boot: clean up KASLR code

In order to make improvements to KASLR behavior, it has been suggested
that the code should be cleaned up a bit first. This is the start of
those changes. Since there are no stand-alone bug fixes in the later
patches, I will begin here. First with a rename followed by variable
name changes and comment improvements.

This is the first wave...
