[PATCH 1/2] x86/boot: fix KASL when memmap range manipulation is used

[Julian Stecklina]

From: Julian Stecklina <jsteckli@xxxxxxxxx>

When the user passes a memmap=<size>%<offset>-<oldtype>+<newtype>
parameter to the kernel to reclassify some memory, this information is
ignored during the randomization of the kernel base address. This in
turn leads to cases where the kernel is unpacked to memory regions that
the user marked as reserved.

Fix this situation to avoid any memory region for KASLR that is
reclassified.

Fixes: ef61f8a340fd6d49df6b367785743febc47320c1 ("x86/boot/e820: Implement a range manipulation operator")
