Given that contiguous PUDs/PMDs allow the linear region to be mapped more
efficiently, ensure that the relative alignment between the linear virtual
and physical mappings of system RAM are equal modulo the contiguous PUD
size (or contiguous PMD size, for 16k/64k granule size).

Note that this reduces the KASLR randomization of the linear range by
PUD_SHIFT (or PMD_SHIFT) bits.
