Oh, I'd absolutely prefer to just allow kaslr together with
hibernation if it actually works.
Could the people who piped up to say that they actually use
hibernation just try passing in the "kaslr" command line option on
their machine, and see if it works for them? We could just remove the
"no kaslr with hibername" code - or at least limit it to 32-bit for
now..
Because that would be lovely.
