So, memory starts at 0x20000000 and finishes at 0x25000000.  That's fine.
That doesn't mean the section size is 16MB.

As I've already said, the section size has _nothing_ what so ever to do
with the size of memory, or the granularity of the size of memory.  By
way of illustration, it is perfectly legal to have a section size of
256MB but only have 1MB in a section and this is perfectly legal.  So
sections do not have to be completely filled.

So from this diagram, the sections should be 512MB - SECTION_SIZE_BITS
should be 28.
