UEFI Block I/O Protocol has `Media->IoAlign` field dictating the minimum alignment for I/O buffer. It's quite surprising this has been lingering here unnoticed for years, seems like most UEFI implementations have small or no alignment requirements. U-Boot is not the case here, and requires at least 512 byte alignment, hence attempt to read GPT partition table fail and in effect systemd-boot can not find XBOOTLDR partition. These patches allow to boot from XBOOTLDR partition on U-Boot - tested with latest systemd revision and U-Boot master (`8de6e8f8a076d2c9b6d38d8563db135c167077ec`) on x64 and ARM32, of which both are failing without the patch. Also fixes Bitlocker probing logic, which is the only other place where raw block I/O is used, however this is untested.
