x86/KASLR: Allow randomization below the load address

Currently the kernel image physical address randomization's lower
boundary is the original kernel load address.

For bootloaders that load kernels into very high memory (e.g. kexec),
this means randomization takes place in a very small window at the
top of memory, ignoring the large region of physical memory below
the load address.

Since mem_avoid[] is already correctly tracking the regions that must be
avoided, this patch changes the minimum address to whatever is less:
512M (to conservatively avoid unknown things in lower memory) or the
load address. Now, for example, if the kernel is loaded at 8G, [512M,
8G) will be added to the list of possible physical memory positions.
