Correct. One possibility that works is sticking it right below
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR:

+static void add_kaslr_setup_data(struct boot_params *params,
+				 u8 *output, __u8 enabled)
 {
+	/*
+	 * Stick it right under LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR
+	 */
+	ksd = (struct setup_data *)(output - 2 * sizeof(struct setup_data));

output is LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR AFAICT and is the minimum kASLR considers
so right below it should work:
