Change the addresses/sizes of the variable storage areas to use 256k blocks so UEFI is compatible with both the RTSM models and QEMU.
The VExpress flash has non-uniform block sizes, with most blocks being 256k and the top 4 blocks being 64k. UEFI has been using these top 64k blocks for persistent variable storage. The RTSM models the non-uniform sizes, while QEMU only supports emulating flash with uniform block sizes which results in the top 256k (the 4 64k blocks) of flash being unusable for writing in QEMU. The ARM UEFI NOR flash driver currently requires that firmware volumes start at the base of a flash region, so the variables are now stored at the base the region that consists of the 256k blocks. It was previously at the base of the region of 64k blocks.
Note that this change will require RTSM flash images to be updated, as the variable storage has moved. Currently only the A15 model is supported by QEMU RTSM VExpress configurations. This patch only changes the A15 configurations.
