The multiboot specification says: If bit 16 in the ‘flags’ word is set,
then the fields at offsets 12-28 in the Multiboot header are valid, and the
boot loader should use them instead of the fields in the actual executable
header to calculate where to load the OS image.
I believe they are valid in
all that does is set the lowest two bytes, which is fine.
