8 * head.S contains the 32-bit startup code.
10 * NOTE!!! Startup happens at absolute address 0x00001000, which is also where
11 * the page directory will exist. The startup code will be overwritten by
12 * the page directory. [According to comments etc elsewhere on a compressed
13 * kernel it will end up at 0x1000 + 1Mb I hope so as I assume this. - AC]
15 * Page 0 is deliberately kept safe, since System Management Mode code in
16 * laptops may need to access the BIOS data stored there. This is also
17 * useful for future device drivers that either access the BIOS via VM86
22 * High loaded stuff by Hans Lermen & Werner Almesberger, Feb. 1996

49 * confuse the debugger if this code is traced.
50 * XXX - best to initialize before switching to protected mode.
