+	  This option enables the kernel to be loaded at any page aligned
+	  physical address. The kernel creates a mapping from KERNELBASE to 
+	  the address where the kernel is loaded. The page size here implies
+	  the TLB page size of the mapping for kernel on the particular platform.
+	  Please refer to the init code for finding the TLB page size.
