Do you relate to this sentence:

"If a 64KiB physical page contains any 4KiB page with any of the
following types listed below, then all 4KiB pages in the 64KiB page must
use identical ARM Memory Page Attributes"?

This is not the exact requirement of the spec. Please, use a description
that matches the spec.

The requirement that 64KiB areas should have the same attributes was
already presen in UEFI spec 2.4. Please, drop the version reference.

Isn't this an alignment before relocation that is irrelevant with
regards to the UEFI spec?

I cannot see that after these changes you match the requirements of the
UEFI spec.
