Merge branch 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes:
- add initial commits to randomize kernel memory section virtual
addresses, enabled via a new kernel option: RANDOMIZE_MEMORY
(Thomas Garnier, Kees Cook, Baoquan He, Yinghai Lu)
- enhance KASLR (RANDOMIZE_BASE) physical memory randomization (Kees
Cook)
- EBDA/BIOS region boot quirk cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Ingo Molnar)
- misc cleanups/fixes"
