The arm64 kernel's segment alignment is fixed at 64 KB for any page size, and relocatable kernels are able to fix up any misalignment of the kernel image with respect to the 2 MB section alignment that is mandated by the arm64 boot protocol. Let's increase the PE/COFF section alignment to the same value, so that kernels loaded by the UEFI PE/COFF loader are guaranteed to end up at an address that doesn't require any reallocation to be done if the kernel is relocatable.
