[PATCHv3 09/11] arm64: Add page size to the kernel image header

[Suzuki K. Poulose]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds the page size to the arm64 kernel image header
so that one can infer the PAGESIZE used by the kernel. This will
be helpful to diagnose failures to boot the kernel with page size
not supported by the CPU.
