Load region size vs execution region size

Trying to the keep the load region under 0x8000 but load region is more then 0x8000 yet execution region is only 0xa7c? How come my load region size is is so much more?
This is a Cortex M1 on a Altera FPGA that has 32k of ITCM which I am trying to use for some bootloader code.
Load Region LR_IROM1 (Base: 0x00000000, Size: 0x00008d40, Max: 0x00008000, ABSOLUTE, COMPRESSED[0x000025c0])

    Execution Region ER_IROM1 (Base: 0x00000000, Size: 0x00000a7c, Max: 0x00008000, ABSOLUTE)

    Base Addr    Size         Type   Attr      Idx    E Section Name        Object
