Thanks for the commit.  It will help our setup very much.
I'll be waiting for the MFC (which I noticed in the commit
message) as well.

By the way, I hope this won't annoy people with small
embedded machines though.  I mean, could it influence loader
(not the PXE one but the one used for disk boot) behavior on
a small system with small memory, now that the heap is at a
higher place by default?  Probably, it won't matter, since
those people should be tuning a whole lot of things to make
it work in the first place?

Anyway, thanks a lot.
