Subject: [PATCH v2 28/29] efi/libstub: check for vmalloc= command line argument
Check for and record the presence of a vmalloc= argument on the
kernel command line. We need this information on ARM systems when
implementing KASLR, given that the size of the vmalloc region will
affect the size of the lowmem region, therefore affecting the
available randomization range as well.
