xive/p10: Change alignment of the queue overflow pages

The Memory Coherence Directory uses 16M "granule" to track shared
copies of a cache line. If any cache line within the 16M range gets
touched by someone outside of the group, the MCD forces accesses to
any cache line within the range to include everyone that might have a
shared copy.

Allocate the queue overflow pages and use a 16M alignment to avoid
sharing with other structures and reduce traffic on the PowerBus.
