Syslinux - Aug 2010 - Difference between linux.c32 and loading linux directly?

Hello.

What's the difference between linux.c32 module and
loading linux kernel directly by {sys,pxe,iso}linux?

Is there any advantage of using linux.c32 over the
built-in method?

Thanks!

At this time, linux.c32 can deal with memory holes better.  I have a
machine that with a 40+ MiB initramfs file, I have to use linux.c32.
There may be other differences that I'm not aware of.
