[PATCH] ARM: kvm: implement replacement for ld's LOG2CEIL()

Commit 06f75a1f6200 ("ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce
page") uses ld's builtin function LOG2CEIL() to align the
KVM init code to a log2 upper bound of its size. However,
this function turns out to be a fairly recent addition to
binutils, which breaks the build for older toolchains.

So instead, implement a replacement LOG2_ROUNDUP() using
the C preprocessor.

                0xc09a26ec                __kvm_hyp_init_end
                0xc09a2700                __hyp_idmap_text_end = .

which confirms that the alignemnt is correct. The size of the region
is 0xec bytes, and 0x70 bytes of padding are emitted to align it at
a 0x100 byte boundary
