+ * Parameters for Pre-Boot Virtual Memory (PBVM).
+ * The kernel, its modules and metadata are loaded in the PBVM by the loader.
+ * The PBVM consists of pages for which the mapping is maintained in a page
+ * table. The page table is at least 1 EFI page large (i.e. 4KB), but can be
+ * larger to accommodate more PBVM. The maximum page table size is 1MB. With
+ * 8 bytes per page table entry, this means that the PBVM has at least 512
+ * pages and at most 128K pages.
+ * The GNU toolchain (in particular GNU ld) does not support an alignment
+ * larger than 64K. This means that we cannot guarantee page alignment for
+ * a page size that's larger than 64K. We do want to have text and data in
+ * different pages, which means that the maximum usable page size is 64KB.
+ * Consequently:
+ * The maximum total PBVM size is 8GB -- enough for a DVD image. A page table
+ * of a single EFI page (4KB) allows for 32MB of PBVM.
+ *
+ * The kernel is given the PA and size of the page table that provides the
+ * mapping of the PBVM. The page table itself is assumed to be mapped at a
+ * known virtual address and using a single translation wired into the CPU.
+ * As such, the page table is assumed to be a power of 2 and naturally aligned.
+ * The kernel also assumes that a good portion of the kernel text is mapped
+ * and wired into the CPU, but does not assume that the mapping covers the
+ * whole of PBVM.
