The commit message doesn't need to contain *what* you're doing in the
patch.

Why is that comment repeated here?

get != mark.

Which should tell you that the function name needs changing.

Also, this function is void and it could very well return
num_immovable_mem and num_immovable_mem can be a static variable in
kaslr.c instead of sloppily adding yet another global one.

Change this error message a bit to differ from the above for easier debugging.
