[PATCH 26/30] ARM: decompressor: add KASLR support

Add support to the decompressor to load the kernel at a randomized
offset, and invoke the kernel proper while passing on the information
about the offset at which the kernel was loaded.

This implementation was created with the UEFI stub in mind (which has
a rich execution environment that provides access to the platforms
random number generators), which will assign the kaslr_offset variable
directly. However, to allow other bootloaders to use this facility,
the KASLR offset is exposed via a zImage header field as well.
