Subject: [PATCH 0/5] x86, boot: clean up KASLR code (step 2)

This is the next step in various clean-ups and small improvements of the
KASLR code. We're now moving past refactorings and have started making
small changes to code along with some related clean-ups.

After this series, the more major changes are coming. If there are other
things that are worth cleaning up before then, we should identify them
now. (Some cleanups have not been done now are because they're tied
to the major changes, like renaming "run_size" to "kernel_total_size"
since doing that rename in the existing code makes things uglier, IMO.)
