Hi,

Here's few changes to x86 decompression code.

The first patch fixes build regression introduced by my recent patch.
It only triggers when KASLR disabled and GCC version < 5. I haven't
noticed this before.

The second patch is pure cosmetic change: give file with KASLR helpers
a proper name.

The last two patches bring support of booting into 5-level paging mode if
a bootloader put the kernel above 4G.

Patch 3/4 handles allocation of space for trampoline and gets it prepared.
Patch 4/4 gets trampoline used.

Please review and consider applying.
