[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 06/10] sandbox: Align RAM buffer to the machine page size

From: Simon Glass <sjg at chromium.org>

At present the sandbox RAM buffer is not aligned to any particular
address boundary. This makes the internal pointers somewhat random with
respect to the associated RAM buffer addresses.

Align the buffer to the page size of the machine to help with this.
