[PATCH] arm64: efi: make sure vmlinux load address aligned on 2MBytes

From: Shanker Donthineni <shankerd at codeaurora.org>

The vmlinux image load address must be aligned to 2MB, as documented
in Documentation/arm64/booting.txt. Otherwise, __create_page_tables
in head.S will create incorrect page table entries.
