Set lower limit of physical KASLR to 64M. Previously is was set to 512M when kernel is loaded higher than that. That prevented physical KASLR from being performed on x86_32, where upper limit is also set to 512M. The limit is pretty arbitrary, and the most important is to set it above the ISA hole, i.e. higher than 16M. It was not that important before, but now kernel is not getting relocated to the lower address when booting via EFI, exposing the KASLR failures.
