Right, I understand that Linux is loaded to 0x100000. The point is that
I have an impression that in Stefan's implementation the COM32 module
(that provides the support for relocatable ELF modules) will be still
loaded to 0x101000. Does it mean that if the area of memory 0x100000 to
0x10ffff is erased by some application, then those loaded ELF modules
will be not be able to use COM32 library services?
