this is probably the almost 2MB of literal zeros that the
kernel padding has.  my netbsd-8 kernel:

0000260     0000    0000    0000    0000    0000    0000    0000    0000
*
10000000     010f    48f8    08a3    0000    0000    ffc0    48ff    10a1
10000020     0000    0000    ffc0    48ff    40c7    3ff8    0000    4800

it used to be only "1MB" until something maxv did a year or so ago?
i've been meaning to figure out how to remove it from the binary
while keeping the (wanted) effect, but haven't found it.
