Commit76085aff29("efi/libstub/arm64: align PE/COFF sections to segment alignment") increased the PE/COFF section alignment to match the minimum segment alignment of the kernel image, which ensures that the kernel does not need to be moved around in memory by the EFI stub if it was built as relocatable. However, the first PE/COFF section starts at _stext, which is only 4 KB aligned, and so the section layout is inconsistent. Existing EFI loaders seem to care little about this, but it is better to clean this up. So let's pad the header to 64 KB to match the PE/COFF section alignment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
