Or if you boot using EFI (fortunately EFI32 is rare), or you have a
screwed-up memory map (which is still rare but is increasingly common.)
 For a while some distros, including Fedora, had a messed-up config
which meant it was *always* relocated, but that was a configuration bug
which has since been fixed, I believe.
