Respect EFI block-io buffer alignment

This resolves a complete failure to access devices connected to the
SATA port on the ARM ltd. Juno platform (apart from a violation of the
UEFI block io protocol).

The below is a bit of a hack, but I'd like some feedback on preferred
solution before over(or under)engineering something.

As far as I can tell, a struct_disk is only ever allocated in
kern/disk.c, using grub_zalloc(). So the only reason for the horrid
ifdefs is that there is no grub_memalign for EMU.

Do I:
- Keep the ifdefs?
- Implement grub_memalign() for EMU?
- Something else?

Subject: [PATCH] efidisk: Respect block_io_protocol buffer alignment

Returned from the OpenProtocol operation, the grub_efi_block_io_media
structure contains the io_align field, specifying the minimum alignment
required for buffers used in any data transfers with the device.

Add an io_align field to struct grub_disk, and use it in kern/disk.c
when GRUB_MACHINE_EFI is defined.
