Re: [RFC PATCH] KASLR: mem_avoid_memmap_index can be static

Hi Fengguang,

Thanks for pointing it out!

I am fine with defining mem_avoid_memmap_index it as static variable.
While Liyang suggested using a local static inside mem_avoid_memmap,
then mem_avoid_memmap_index is not needed any more. Do you think it's OK
to you?

Thanks
Baoquan
