x86, kaslr: Clarify RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET

The help text for RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET was confusing. This has been
clarified, and updated to be an export-only tunable.

Determines the maximal offset in bytes that will be applied to the
kernel when Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is active.
Must be less than or equal to the actual physical memory on the

The lesser of RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET and available physical
memory is used to determine the maximal offset in bytes that will
be applied to the kernel when kernel Address Space Layout
Randomization (kASLR) is active. This must be a multiple of
PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
On 32-bit this is limited to 512MiB by page table layouts. The
default is 512MiB.
On 32-bit this is limited to 512MiB.
On 64-bit this is limited by how the kernel fixmap page table is
positioned, so this cannot be larger than 1GiB currently. Without
RANDOMIZE_BASE, there is a 512MiB to 1.5GiB split between kernel
and modules. When RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET is above 512MiB, the
modules area will shrink to compensate, up to the current maximum
1GiB to 1GiB split. The default is 1GiB.
On 64-bit this is limited by how the kernel fixmap page table is
positioned, so this cannot be larger that 1GiB currently. Normally
there is a 512MiB to 1.5GiB split between kernel and modules. When
this is raised above the 512MiB default, the modules area will
shrink to compensate, up to the current maximum 1GiB to 1GiB split.
If unsure, leave at the default value.
