First of all, please do not top-post.

Even if they're in linux-next, that doesn't mean they should go upstream
while there are still issues to be hammered out.

In this particular case, if Chao Fan's patchset shapes up in a decent
form to be upstreamed, we don't need the cmdline parameter anymore, do
we?

Because we'll have the SRAT parsing and proper KASLR limits ready and
working automatically, I'd say.
