Unfortunately, my BB white boots happily every time.

I have added DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS support to mach-omap2, and added some
debug output to the kaslr init routine

For example,

Starting kernel ...

regions.image_size:00e00000
regions.pa_start:80000000
regions.pa_end:90000000
regions.zimage_start:80200000
regions.zimage_size:00430228
regions.dtb_start:82000000
regions.dtb_size:00009000
num:00000016
*kaslr_offset:04400000
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

I have pushed the changes to my arm-kaslr-v3 branch. If you are
willing to spend more cycles on this, could you please run it with
DEBUG_LL enabled, and capture the output of the failed boots?
