The modaddr tells GRUB where to start putting the following modules in
physical memory. This is needed so that GRUB does not use areas of
memory that we want to use ourselves, i.e. areas where we want to put
our kernel and programs. Consequently this means that the modaddr must
be within the range of physical memory and give enough place to put all
loaded modules behind it. And it must be big enough that after loading
all programs fit before it. Using 0x2000000 (32MB) is usually fine.
