[PATCH v7 10/14] x86: change default load address from 1 MiB to 2 MiB

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com>]

Subsequent patches introducing relocatable early boot code play with
page tables using 2 MiB huge pages. If load address is not aligned at
2 MiB then code touching such page tables must have special cases for
start and end of Xen image memory region. So, let's make life easier
and move default load address from 1 MiB to 2 MiB. This way page table
code will be nice and easy. Hence, there is a chance that it will be
less error prone too... :-)))
