Good findings, Tao.

The patch looks good to me, but with fixing the comment for the if block
in POST_RELOC like this:
/*
- * Check for CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY, and set page_offset here.
- * The remainder of the virtual address range setups will get
- * done below in POST_GDB.
+ * Check for CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY, and set page_offset and
+ * the virtual address ranges.
*/
if (kernel_symbol_exists("page_offset_base") &&

This looks good to me. Applied(with the above fix).
Thanks,
