Baoquan He a46f60d760 x86/mm/KASLR: Exclude EFI region from KASLR VA space randomization
Currently KASLR is enabled on three regions: the direct mapping of physical
memory, vamlloc and vmemmap. However the EFI region is also mistakenly
included for VA space randomization because of misusing EFI_VA_START macro
and assuming EFI_VA_START < EFI_VA_END.

(This breaks kexec and possibly other things that rely on stable addresses.)

The EFI region is reserved for EFI runtime services virtual mapping which
should not be included in KASLR ranges. In Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt,
we can see:

  ffffffef00000000 - fffffffeffffffff (=64 GB) EFI region mapping space

EFI uses the space from -4G to -64G thus EFI_VA_START > EFI_VA_END,
Here EFI_VA_START = -4G, and EFI_VA_END = -64G.

Changing EFI_VA_START to EFI_VA_END in mm/kaslr.c fixes this problem.
