 * due to some shortcuts below it's restricted further to within the 1st
 * 64KB. The AP starts in real-mode, with
 *   CS selector set to the startup memory address/16;
 *   CS base set to startup memory address;
 *   CS limit set to 64KB;
 *   CPL and IP set to 0.
 *
 * mp.c causes each non-boot CPU in turn to jump to start.
 * mp.c puts the correct %esp in start-4, and the place to jump
 * to in start-8.

#### Switch from real to protected mode	
####     The descriptors in our GDT allow all physical memory to be accessed.
####     Furthermore, the descriptors have base addresses of 0, so that the
####     segment translation is a NOP, ie. virtual addresses are identical to
####     their physical addresses.  With this setup, immediately after
####	 enabling protected mode it will still appear to this code
####	 that it is running directly on physical memory with no translation.
####	 This initial NOP-translation setup is required by the processor
####	 to ensure that the transition to protected mode occurs smoothly.
