I think KASLR's a red herring; it shouldn't change the distance between
the restore_pblist symbol and {_text,_end}.

Above, ffff000008e43860 is the location of the pointer in the kernel
image (i.e. it's &restore_pblist). 0xffff800971b7f998 is the pointer
that was assigned to restore_pblist. For KASLR, the low bits (at least
up to a page boundary) shouldn't change across relocation.

Assuming it's only ever assigned a dynamic allocation, which should fall
in the linear map, the LMADDR() dance doesn't appear to be necessary.

Folding that in (or having it as a preparatory cleanup patch) makes
sense to me. AFAICT the logic was valid (albeit confused) until now, so
it's not strictly a fix.

Thanks,
Mark.
