This patch adds KASLR to the MIPS kernel.
Entropy is derived from the banner, which will change every build and
random_get_entropy() which should provide additional runtime entropy.
Additionally the bootloader may pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed
node in device tree.
The kernel is relocated by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET bytes from
its link address (PHYSICAL_START). Because relocation happens so early
in the kernel boot, the amount of physical memory has not yet been
determined. This means the only way to limit relocation within the
available memory is via Kconfig.

Changes in v2:
- Accept the "nokaslr" command line option
- Add a kernel panic notifier to print the relocation information
- Accept entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed property in device tree
- Tested on MIPS Malta, Boston and SEAD3 platforms
