# Start an Application Processor. This must be placed on a 4KB boundary
# somewhere in the 1st MB of conventional memory (APBOOTSTRAP). However,
# 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.
