    arm64: Use adrp + :lo12: to load globals from asm
    
    When loading a global variable we can use a pseudo-instruction similar
    to "ldr, xn, =global" to load the address of the symbol. As this is
    unlikely to be supported by a mov instruction a pc-relative load is
    used, with the absolute address written at the end of the function so
    it will be loaded.
    
    This load can be partially replaced with an adrp instruction. This
    generates the address, aligned to a 4k boundary, using a pc-relative
    addition. Because the address is 4k-aligned we then update reading the
    global variable using a load with the offset of the load the low
    12-bits of the global. Arm64 assemblers have :lo12: to support this,
    e.g. "ldr xn, [xn, :lo12:global]".
    
    The only remaining users of "ldr, xn, =global" that I can find are
    executed from the physical address space the kernel was loaded in and
    need an address in the kernels virtual address space. Because of this
    they can't use adrp.
