All right, I will just update the code comment. Just back ported kaslr
to our OS product, people reviewed and found the upper boundary of kaslr
mm region is EFI_VA_START, that's not correct, it has to be corrected
firstly in upstream. Then found the confusion in code comment.

Change or keep it, both is fine to me.

Thanks!
