"The Image must be placed text_offset bytes from a 2MB aligned base
address anywhere in usable system RAM and called there."
For the virt board, we write our startup bootloader at the very
bottom of RAM, so that bit can't be used for the image. To avoid
overlap in case the image requests to be loaded at an offset
smaller than our bootloader, we increment the load offset to the
next 2MB.
This fixes a boot failure for Xen AArch64.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- use KiB/MiB macros for readability (suggested by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé),
hence the additional #include
- define an upper bound for the bootloader size since TEXT_OFFSET has to be
page aligned anyway (suggested by Andre Przywara)
- add assert() in write_bootloader() to make sure we stay below the 4K max
(suggested by Peter Maydell)
