Core 2 Duo CAR lives at 0xFFEF0000 with a size of 32 kiB in v3.
Core 2 Duo CAR lives at 0xFFDF8000 with a size of 32 kiB in v2 for the
Kontron board.
My observation is correct for any ROM larger than 1 MiB (to be exact,
1024+64 kiB) in v3 and for any ROM larger than 2 MiB (2048+32 kiB) in v2.
How variable is the location where we can have CAR in the Core 2 Duo? Is
anything in the top 16 MiB allowed?
