theoretically, mem_avoid_memmap is doing the mem_avoid initialization
job, should be called inside mem_avoid_init(). The reason you put it
here is you want to make it cancel kaslr, both physical and virtual
address randomization, right?

In choose_random_location(), the physical and virtual random are done
separately. You can see that later when find_random_phys_addr failed to
find a suitable random slot, it just prints a warning, virtual
randomization is still be done with calling find_random_virt_addr().
Avoiding memmap reserved region should be physical ram issue, should we
stop the kernel virtual address randomization either?

Kees, what do you think about this?
