Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] KASLR: Handle memory limit specified by memmap and mem option

Option mem= will limit the max address a system can use and any memory
region above the limit will be removed.

Furthermore, memmap=nn[KMG] which has no offset specified has the same
behaviour as mem=.

KASLR needs to consider this when choosing the random position for
decompressing the kernel.

This patch implements that.
