If we cannot relocate the kernel Image to its preferred offset of base of DRAM
plus TEXT_OFFSET, instead relocate it to the lowest available 2 MB boundary plus
TEXT_OFFSET. We may lose a bit of memory at the low end, but we can still
proceed normally otherwise.

Ard, who's picking this up?
Hey Matt,

These patches mostly touch non-EFI specific files under arch/arm64, so
to prevent conflicts, it makes sense for the arm64 tree to take them.

Will's already taken this into arm64/devel [1,2] with the intention of
waiting for v3.18 [3]. Per Leif's comment [4] that might have to be
bumped.

Will?

Mark.
