This series provides an alternative to 'arm64/efi: prefer AllocatePages() over efi_low_alloc() for vmlinux', of which a v2 was sent out on July 24th. This series updates efi_low_alloc() to support doing allocations that start at a fixed offset from an aligned boundary, as is required for allocating the arm64 kernel 512 KB above a 2 MB boundary. With these changes, the arm64 placement code can be simplified, and will deal better with the HiKey platform, whose DRAM starts at 0x0, and APM Mustang, whose firmware occupies some memory at the base of DRAM, which is currently preventing the arm64 kernel from using the bottom 2 MB.
