Subject: [PATCHv2 2/2] x86/boot/KASLR: Fix boot with some memory above MAXMEM

A 5-level paging capable machine can have memory above 46-bit in the
physical address space. This memory is only addressable in the 5-level
paging mode: we don't have enough virtual address space to create direct
mapping for such memory in the 4-level paging mode

Teach KASLR to avoid memory regions above MAXMEM or truncate the region
if the end is above MAXMEM.
