This is useful for reporting various addresses or other values while
debugging early boot. For example, when CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP is set,
this is now visible at boot time:

	early console in setup code
	early console in decompress_kernel
	input_data: 0x0000000001e1526e
	input_len: 0x0000000000732236
	output: 0x0000000001000000
	output_len: 0x0000000001535640
	run_size: 0x00000000021fb000
	KASLR using RDTSC...

Since this displays run_size, this patch depends on Junjie Mao's patch
"x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd"
