Subject: [PATCH v9 11/11] arm64: kexec_file: add kaslr support

Adding "kalsr-seed" to dtb enables triggering kaslr, or kernel virtual
address randomization, at secondary kernel boot. We always do this as
it wll have no harm on kaslr-incapable kernel.

We don't have any "switch" to turn off this feature directly, but still
can suppress it by passing "nokaslr" as a kernel boot argument.
