[PATCH 06/15] ARM: KVM: enforce maximum size for identity mapped code

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier at arm.com>

We're about to move to an init procedure where we rely on the
fact that the init code fits in a single page. Make sure we
align the idmap text on a vector alignment, and that the code is
not bigger than a single page.
