SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] x86/mm/KASLR: EFI region is mistakenly included into KASLR VA space for randomization

Question is, is there anything worth protecting with ASLR or we don't
care? I wanna say, we should randomize just in case, especially as it
shouldn't be that expensive to do.

Also, how does the whole EFI-in-the-kexec-ed-kernel work on ARM? Runtime
services get mapped on-demand in the kexec-ed kernel too?
