x86: arch_mmap_rnd() uses hard-coded values, 8 for 32-bit and 28 for
64-bit, to generate the random offset for the mmap base address.
This value represents a compromise between increased ASLR
effectiveness and avoiding address-space fragmentation. Replace it
with a Kconfig option, which is sensibly bounded, so that platform
developers may choose where to place this compromise. Keep default
values as new minimums.

OK, this is around the time when I make a lecture about the danger of
expecting the compiler to make certain transformations:

Now, you and I know that both variants can be implemented with a simple
AND, but I have a strong suspicion that once this is turned into a
variable, this will in fact be changed from an AND to a divide.

So I'd prefer to use the
"get_random_int() & ((1UL << mmap_rnd_bits) - 1)" construct instead.

Good point.  Will change in v7 across patch-set.

Thank You,
