Architectures such as AArch64 may run the OS with 16 KB or 64 KB sized
pages, and for this reason, the UEFI spec mandates a minimal allocation
granularity of 64 KB for regions that may require different memory
attributes at OS runtime.

So make PeiCore's implementation of AllocatePages () take this into
account as well.

Ard:
  First is to make FreeMemoryTop at the expected alignment. If original FreeMemoryTop is not aligned, it will be adjusted to be align. Then, there is one memory hole that can't be used any more. I suggest to create BuildMemoryAllocationHob() with EfiConventionalMemory to describe this hole.  Now, MdePkg\Library\PeiMemoryAllocationLib AllocateAlignedPages() uses this way to describe extra memory space. 

Thanks
Liming

OK. But the original code may already result in some non-page aligned
memory to be discarded, should that be described as well? Or should
the EfiConventionalMemory HOB cover full pages only?

Now, MdePkg\Library\PeiMemoryAllocationLib AllocateAlignedPages() uses
this way to describe extra memory space.

Thanks,
Ard.

According to PI Spec.
"Note:MemoryBaseAddress and MemoryLength must each have 4-KiB granularity to meet the page size requirements of UEFI."

Memory allocation HOB covers full pages only.

Thanks,
Star
