Randomizes the virtual address space of kernel memory sections (physical

The current implementation of KASLR randomizes only the base address of

in a system.
The driver implements a device /dev/vtpmx that is used to created
a client device pair /dev/tpmX (e.g., /dev/tpm10) and a server side that
is accessed using a file descriptor returned by an ioctl.
