arm64: ensure vital sections aren't garbage collected

The driver structures live in special sections which have no
    direct reference to the symbols. Therefore, when garbage
    collecting sections in the liner the drivers are tossed out
    resulting in no drivers being linked into ramstage. Fix this
    by adding the KEEP() directive to those special sections.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:29923
    BRANCH=None
    TEST=Built and noted console starts working in ramstage.
