[PATCH v2 1/2] arm64: mm: Enable CONT_SIZE aligned sections for 64k page kernels.

[Jeremy Linton]

This change allows ALIGN_RODATA for 16k and 64k kernels.
In the case of 64k kernels it actually aligns to the CONT_SIZE
rather than the SECTION_SIZE (which is 512M). This makes it generally
more useful, especially for CONT enabled kernels.
