 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.
