Bug description:
  This will end up as an SRU request to patch grub with 4k aligned
  headers to allow amr64 UEFI laptops to boot.

  See https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg28224.html and
  related patch set (hopefully all approved when this bug is reviewed).

  Without these changes booting grub on the Arm64 Snapdragon 835 laptop
  platforms fail. If this can make it into 19.04 and the next 18.04.X
  that would be most appreciated. Impacts the HP Envy x2, Asus NovaGo,
  Lenovo Miix 630 and maybe the Lenovo Yoga C630 64-bit Armv8-A laptops.
