Why is the flash memory of Pixhawk limited to 1 MB?

Older versions of Pixhawk use an early version of the STM32F427 chip (RevA, RevY and Rev1). A hardware bug is present in these chips that limit the flash memory to 1 MB. Any boards containing this chip cannot include all ArduPilot features due to this limitation.
