The implementation of efi_high_alloc() uses a complicated way of traversing the memory map to find an available region that is located as close as possible to the provided upper limit, and calls AllocatePages subsequently to create the allocation at that exact address. This is precisely what the EFI_ALLOCATE_MAX_ADDRESS allocation type argument to AllocatePages() does, and considering that EFI_ALLOC_ALIGN only exceeds EFI_PAGE_SIZE on arm64, let's use AllocatePages() directly and implement the alignment using code that the compiler can remove if it does not exceed EFI_PAGE_SIZE.

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.
