[PATCH] efi: arm-stub: Correct FDT and initrd allocation rules for arm64

On arm64, we have made some changes over the past year to the way the
kernel itself is allocated and to how it deals with the initrd and FDT.
This patch brings the allocation logic in the EFI stub in line with that,
which is necessary because the introduction of KASLR has created the
possibility for the initrd to be allocated in a place where the kernel
may not be able to map it. (This is currently a theoretical scenario,
since it only affects systems where the size of RAM exceeds the size of
the linear mapping.)

So adhere to the arm64 boot protocol, and make sure that the initrd is
fully inside a 1GB aligned 32 GB window that covers the kernel as well.

The FDT may be anywhere in memory on arm64 now that we map it via the
fixmap, so we can lift the address restriction there completely.
