Subject: [PATCHv11 4/9] x86/boot/compressed: Handle unaccepted memory
The firmware will pre-accept the memory used to run the stub. But, the
stub is responsible for accepting the memory into which it decompresses
the main kernel. Accept memory just before decompression starts.
The stub is also responsible for choosing a physical address in which to
place the decompressed kernel image. The KASLR mechanism will randomize
this physical address. Since the unaccepted memory region is relatively
small, KASLR would be quite ineffective if it only used the pre-accepted
area (EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY). Ensure that KASLR randomizes among the
entire physical address space by also including EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY.
