It would probably be better to have an > #ifdef in asm/setup.h for the kaslr_enabled() definition.
If we do that, we force all architectures that support (now, or at any point in the future) live patching to provide kaslr_enabled(), klp_vmlinux_relocation_offset() (or however it will be called), etc (even if they don't care a bit about kASLR) I would like to avoid that; it seems really unnecessary maintainance overhead imposed on archs.
