Replace all that with:
"However, the setup_data linked list and thus the element which contains
kaslr_enabled is chained together using physical addresses. At the
time when we access it in the kernel proper, we're already running
with paging enabled and therefore must access it through its virtual
address."
That's it, now how hard was to explain it that way?

I guess with "bp" you mean me? You can call me Boris.
