  Of course, yes. See the memory map in the documentation. However,
even I am not sure how many bytes are permitted precisely, since
stage2 allocates a stack space and a heap space after itself.

  There are several ways to do the same thing, but I think this is the
best, because GAS is not very clever. But don't forget to write a
comment for this to improve the readability.
