As far as I have understood it (in very short/popular terms), the 'memory hole 15 - 16 
mb' is
a successor to the 'ram-limit' at 640 kb. In the 'old' days, when the 86-family of
processors/computers were developed, they made space for the VGA-extension just above 
the
limit at 640 kb, so when the computers got 'bigger' they reserved a new pice for the 
SVGA.
