Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/modules: Increase randomization for modules

This changes the behavior of the KASLR logic for allocating memory for the text
sections of loadable modules. It randomizes the location of each module text
section with about 18 bits of entropy in typical use. This is enabled on X86_64
only. For 32 bit, the behavior is unchanged.

The algorithm evenly breaks the module space in two, a random area and a backup
area. For module text allocations, it first tries to allocate up to 10 randomly
located starting pages inside the random section. If this fails, it will
allocate in the backup area. The backup area base will be offset in the same
way as the current algorithm does for the base area, 1024 possible locations.
