TEXT_OFFSET was recently changed to 0x0, in preparation for its removal
at a later stage, and a warning is emitted into the kernel log when the
bootloader appears to have failed to take the TEXT_OFFSET image header
value into account.
Ironically, this warning itself fails to take TEXT_OFFSET into account,
and compares the kernel image's alignment modulo 2M against a hardcoded
value of 0x0, and so the warning will trigger spuriously when TEXT_OFFSET
randomization is enabled.
Given the intent to get rid of TEXT_OFFSET entirely, let's fix this
oversight by just removing support for TEXT_OFFSET randomization.

- help
- Say Y here if you want the image load offset (AKA TEXT_OFFSET)
- of the kernel to be randomized at build-time. When selected,
- this option will cause TEXT_OFFSET to be randomized upon any
- build of the kernel, and the offset will be reflected in the
- text_offset field of the resulting Image. This can be used to
- fuzz-test bootloaders which respect text_offset.
-
- This option is intended for bootloader and/or kernel testing
- only. Bootloaders must make no assumptions regarding the value
- of TEXT_OFFSET and platforms must not require a specific
- value.
