Existing selftest library function always allocates GPA range that aligns
to the end of GPA address space, ie., the allocated GPA range guarantees to
end at the last available GPA. This ends up with the fact that selftest
programs cannot control the alignment of the base GPA. Depending on the
size of the allocation, the base GPA may align only on a 4K based
bounday.
The alignment of base GPA sometimes creates problems for dirty logging
selftest where a 2MB-aligned or 1GB-aligned base GPA is needed to
create NPT/EPT mappings for hugepages.
So, fix this issue and ensure all GPA allocation starts from a 1GB bounary
in all architectures.
