Thank you for your comments! I think your suggestions are
right.
However, the prototype patch works EFI environment only.
The memory hot-plug affinity in SRAT and KASLR are also available
on legacy BIOS environment, so I need to get the patch useful
for legacy BIOS as well, but I have no idea to add such things...
If you have ideas, could you let me know?

Probably I should have another idea, for example,
add the SRAT parsing code, looks like you are adding to
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpitb.c, to arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c.

Thanks,
Masa
