+This tag indicates that image is relocatable.
+
+The meaning of each field is as follows:
+
+@table @code
+@item min_addr
+Lowest possible physical address at which image should be loaded.
+The bootloader cannot load any part of image below this address.
+
+@item max_addr
+Highest possible physical address at which loaded image should end.
+The bootloader cannot load any part of image above this address.
+
+@item align
+Image alignment in memory, e.g. 4096.
+
+@item preference
+It contains load address placement suggestion for boot loader.
+Boot loader should follow it. @samp{0} means none, @samp{1} means
+load image at lowest possible address but not lower than min_addr
+and @samp{2} means load image at highest possible address but not
+higher than max_addr.
