/* It used to be universally recommended to use 1M as a start offset,
as it was effectively guaranteed to be available under BIOS systems.
However, UEFI has made things more complicated, and experimental data
strongly suggests that 2M is a safer place to load. In 2016, a new
feature was introduced to the multiboot2 spec to inform bootloaders
that a kernel can be loaded anywhere within a range of addresses and
will be able to relocate itself to run from such a loader-selected
address, in order to give the loader freedom in selecting a span of
memory which is verified to be available by the firmware, in order to
work around this issue. This does not use that feature, so 2M was
chosen as a safer option than the traditional 1M. */
