Add ARM64-specific code to allocate memory with HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE
size and alignment. These are for use when pages need to be shared
with Hyper-V. Separate functions are needed as the page size used
by Hyper-V may not be the same as the guest page size. Free
operations are rarely done, so no attempt is made to combine
freed pages into larger chunks.
This code is built only when CONFIG_HYPERV is enabled.

Is this still needed now that kmalloc has alignment guarantees
(see 59bb47985c1d)?
