[PATCH 5/5] x86, KASLR: Warn when KASLR is disabled

[Kees Cook]

If KASLR is built in but not available at run-time (either due to the
current conflict with hibernation, command-line request, or e820 parsing
failures), announce the state explicitly. To support this, a new "warn"
function is created, based on the existing "error" function.
