Thomas Gleixner 1dddd25125 x86/kaslr: Fix the vaddr_end mess
vaddr_end for KASLR is only documented in the KASLR code itself and is
adjusted depending on config options. So it's not surprising that a change
of the memory layout causes KASLR to have the wrong vaddr_end. This can map
arbitrary stuff into other areas causing hard to understand problems.

Remove the whole ifdef magic and define the start of the cpu_entry_area to
be the end of the KASLR vaddr range.

Add documentation to that effect.
