Currently KASLR is enabled on three regions: the direct mapping of physical
memory, vamlloc and vmemmap. However EFI region is also mistakenly included
for VA space randomization because of misusing EFI_VA_START macro and
assuming EFI_VA_START < EFI_VA_END.

The EFI region is reserved for EFI runtime services virtual mapping which
should not be included in kaslr ranges. In Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt,
we can see:
  ffffffef00000000 - fffffffeffffffff (=64 GB) EFI region mapping space
EFI use the space from -4G to -64G thus EFI_VA_START > EFI_VA_END,
Here EFI_VA_START = -4G, and EFI_VA_END = -64G.

Changing EFI_VA_START to EFI_VA_END in mm/kaslr.c fixes this problem.
