These patcheset is a preparation for boot-time switching between paging
modes. Please apply.
The first patch is pure cosmetic change: it gives file with KASLR helpers
a proper name.
The last three patches bring support of booting into 5-level paging mode if
a bootloader put the kernel above 4G.
Patch 2/4 Renames l5_paging_required() into paging_prepare() and change
interface of the function.
Patch 3/4 Handles allocation of space for trampoline and gets it prepared.
Patch 4/4 Gets trampoline used.
v8:
- Support switching from 5- to 4-level paging.
v7:
- Fix booting when 5-level paging is enabled before handing off boot to
the kernel, like in kexec() case.
