|Actually, I'm not sure whether it's the starting address that matters, or whether
|the boot code must be below this mark or the entire partition. But, the number is 1023.

Every block in the kernel image must be under the mark, but since you
have no control over placement, this essentially means the whole
partition must be under the mark, to be certain of success.
