Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86/mm/doc: Clean up mm.txt

This clean up is suggested by Ingo.

It firstly fix the confusions in mm layout tables by unifying
each memory region description in the consistent style.

Secondly take the KASLR words out of the mm layout tables to make
it as a separate section to only list mm layout in non-KASLR case.
Then add KASLR document at the end of mm.txt.

Meanwhile update document about KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE in
arch/x86/include/asm/page_64_types.h .

Baoquan He (3):
  x86/KASLR: Update document about KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
  x86/mm/doc: Clean up the memory region layout descriptions
  x86/doc/kaslr.txt: Create a separate part of document abourt KASLR at
    the end of file
