Damn Broadcom and their damned incorrect assumptions about x86 memory 

allocation.

/**
* High memory temporary load address
*
* Temporary buffer into which to copy (or decompress) our runtime
* image, prior to calling get_memmap() and relocate(). We don't
* actually leave anything here once install() has returned.
*
* We use the start of an even megabyte so that we don't have to worry
* about the current state of the A20 line.
*
* We use 4MB rather than 2MB because there is at least one commercial
* PXE ROM ("Broadcom UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082) v2.0.4") which stores
* data required by the UNDI ROM loader (yes, the ROM loader; that's
* the component which should be impossible to damage short of
* screwing with the MMU) around the 2MB mark. Sadly, this is not a
* joke.
