    Since BL31 PROGBITS and BL31 NOBITS sections are going to be
    in non-adjacent memory regions, potentially far from each other,
    some fixes are needed to support it completely.
    
    1. adr instruction only allows computing the effective address
    of a location only within 1MB range of the PC. However, adrp
    instruction together with an add permits position independent
    address of any location with 4GB range of PC.
    
    2. Since BL31 _RW_END_ marks the end of BL31 image, care must be
    taken that it is aligned to page size since we map this memory
    region in BL31 using xlat_v2 lib utils which mandate alignment of
    image size to page granularity.
