Thanks for going through this. Do you have any ideas about what we could
rename the command-line option to? I'll get us started:

  - kaiser=
  - hidekernel=
  - unmapkernel=
  - hardenkaslr=
  - swuan=
Off all of these, I think "unmapkernel" is the clear winner, since it
says what it does in the tin (even if it misses the when).

I'll have a think over the weekend.
On the x86 side we've been leaning toward renaming kaiser to something
like "user pagetable isolation", so the boot parameter is something like
"noupti".

But I think the consensus is definitely to get rid of "kaiser".
