boot_params will keep the same and until it is passed
x86_64_start_kernel in vmlinux.
and there it will be copied, same as cmdline.

but current kaslr only support random the base high, and it does not
support kexec
and current boot loader (grub2) put it really low. (under 1M). the
real real_mode. :).

Thanks

Yinghai
