    made module base address randomization unconditional and didn't regard
    disabled KKASLR due to CONFIG_HIBERNATION and command line option
    "nokaslr". For more info see (now reverted) commit:
    
      f47233c2 ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation")
    
    In order to propagate KASLR status to kernel proper, we need a single bit
    in boot_params.hdr.loadflags and we've chosen bit 1 thus leaving the
    top-down allocated bits for bits supposed to be used by the bootloader.
