This is the next batch of patches for cleaning up x86 boot to prepare
for KASLR improvements. This fixes a bug (for when relocation can be
above 2G in later patches), standardizes where the compressed kernel is
positioned for decompression, corrects (and simplies) the total kernel
run size calculation, and (using the now available offset constants)
fixes bounds-checking on relocations.

The patch series following this one will split the KASLR physical
and virtual base address randomization.
