[Patch v3 2/7] x86, kaslr: Introduce struct slot_area to manage randomization slot info

[Baoquan He]

Kernel is expected to be randomly reloaded anywhere in the whole
physical memory area, it could be near 64T at most. In this case
there could be about 4*1024*1024 randomization slots. Hence the
old slot array will cost too much memory and also not efficient
to store the slot information one by one into slot array.

Here introduce struct slot_area to manage randomization slot info
in one contiguous memory area excluding the avoid area. slot_areas
is used to store all slot area info. Since setup_data is a linked
list, could contain many datas by pointer to point one by one,
excluding them will split RAM memory into many smaller areas, here
only take the first 100 slot areas if too many of them.
