+ This is the address at which the kernel image is loaded in case
+ Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) is disabled.
+
+ In case the Protected virtualization guest support is enabled the
+ Ultravisor imposes a virtual address limit. If the value of this
+ option leads to the kernel image exceeding the Ultravisor limit,
+ this option is ignored and the image is loaded below the limit.
+
+ If the value of this option leads to the kernel image overlapping
+ the virtual memory where other data structures are located, this
+ option is ignored and the image is loaded above the structures.
