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. */
