From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
shim
A small piece of data inserted in
order to achieve a desired memory alignment or other
addressing property.
For example, the PDP-11 Unix linker, in split I&D
(instructions and data) mode, inserts a two-byte shim at
location 0 in data space so that no data object will have an
address of 0 (and be confused with the C null pointer).
See also loose bytes.
