As part of an effort to make the annotations in assembly code clearer and
more consistent new macros have been introduced, including replacements
for ENTRY() and ENDPROC().
On arm64 we have ENDPIPROC(), a custom version of ENDPROC() which is
used for code that will need to run in position independent environments
like EFI, it creates an alias for the function with the prefix __pi_ and
then emits the standard ENDPROC. Add new-style macros to replace this
which expand to the standard SYM_FUNC_*() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_*(),
resulting in the same object code. These are added in linkage.h for
consistency with where the generic assembler code has its macros.

[will: Rename 'WEAK' macro, use ';' instead of ASM_NL, deprecate ENDPIPROC]

Aarch64 instructions must be word aligned. The current 16 byte
alignment is more than enough. Relax it into 4 byte alignment.

An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:
ENTRY(func1)
mov x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
mov x0, #1
ret
ENDPROC(func2)
Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.
The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.
