Position independent AArch64 code needs to be linked and loaded at the same relative offset from a 4 KB boundary, or adrp/add and adrp/ldr pairs will not work correctly. (This is how PC relative symbol references with a 4 GB reach are emitted)
We need to declare this in the PE/COFF header, otherwise the PE/COFF loader may load the Image and invoke the stub at an offset which violates this rule.
