    aarch64: Increase default appliance memory size on aarch64.
    
    Kernel 3.19 has problems uncompressing the RAM disk with <= 500 MB.
    (This is likely to be a kernel bug)
    
    64 KB pages are common on aarch64, so treat this case the same as ppc,
    and use a larger default appliance memory size.
    
    Thanks: Laszlo Ersek for help and reproducing the bug.
    (cherry picked from commit c24f242521e882380c28d0952007d8462040d998)
