The patch looks good to me, but with fixing the comment for the if block
in POST_RELOC like this:
                /*
-                *  Check for CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY, and set page_offset here.
-                *  The remainder of the virtual address range setups will get
-                *  done below in POST_GDB.
+                *  Check for CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY, and set page_offset and
+                *  the virtual address ranges.
                 */
                if (kernel_symbol_exists("page_offset_base") &&
