The mem_avoid[] array is used to track positions that should be avoided (like
the compressed kernel, decompression code, etc) when selecting a memory
position for the randomly relocated kernel. Since ZO is now at the end of
the decompression buffer and the decompression code (and its heap and
stack) are at the front, we can safely consolidate the decompression entry,
the heap entry, and the stack entry. The boot_params memory, however, could
be elsewhere, so it should be explicitly included.
