From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> 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. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.
