[PATCH 0/6] implement KASLR for powerpc/fsl_booke/64

This is a try to implement KASLR for Freescale BookE64 which is based on
my earlier implementation for Freescale BookE32:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=131718

The implementation for Freescale BookE64 is similar as BookE32. One
difference is that Freescale BookE64 set up a TLB mapping of 1G during
booting. Another difference is that ppc64 needs the kernel to be
64K-aligned. So we can randomize the kernel in this 1G mapping and make
it 64K-aligned. This can save some code to creat another TLB map at
early boot. The disadvantage is that we only have about 1G/64K = 16384
slots to put the kernel in.

    KERNELBASE

          64K                     |--> kernel <--|
           |                      |              |
        +--+--+--+    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+    +--+--+
        |  |  |  |....|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |....|  |  |
        +--+--+--+    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+    +--+--+
        |                         |                        1G
        |----->   offset    <-----|

                              kernstart_virt_addr

I'm not sure if the slot numbers is enough or the design has any
defects. If you have some better ideas, I would be happy to hear that.

Thank you all.
