+          loaded, as a security feature that deters exploit attempts
+          relying on knowledge of the location of kernel internals.

+          It is the bootloader's job to provide entropy, by passing a
+          random u64 value in /chosen/kaslr-seed at kernel entry.
+
+          When booting via the UEFI stub, it will invoke the firmware's
+          EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL implementation (if available) to supply entropy
+          to the kernel proper. In addition, it will randomise the physical
+          location of the kernel Image as well.
