+KASLR for Freescale BookE64
+---------------------------
+
+The implementation for Freescale BookE64 is similar as BookE32. One
+difference is that Freescale BookE64 set up a TLB mapping of 1G during
+booting. Another difference is that ppc64 needs the kernel to be
+64K-aligned. So we can randomize the kernel in this 1G mapping and make
+it 64K-aligned. This can save some code to creat another TLB map at early
+boot. The disadvantage is that we only have about 1G/64K = 16384 slots to
+put the kernel in::

To enable KASLR, set CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE = y. If KASLR is enable and you
want to disable it at runtime, add "nokaslr" to the kernel cmdline.
Now we support both 32 and 64 bit KASLR for fsl booke. Add document for 64 bit part and rename kaslr-booke32.rst to kaslr-booke.rst.
