+ * arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S. This merely uncompresses the real

+ * arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S. Both routines expects a boot header in the %esi
+ * register, which is created by the bootloader (the Launcher in our case).
+ *
+ * The startup_32 function does very little: it clears the uninitialized global
+ * C variables which we expect to be zero (ie. BSS) and then copies the boot
+ * header and kernel command line somewhere safe, and populates some initial
+ * page tables. Finally it checks the 'hardware_subarch' field. This was
+ * introduced in 2.6.24 for lguest and Xen: if it's set to '1' (lguest's
+ * assigned number), then it calls us here.
+ *
+ * WARNING: be very careful here! We're running at addresses equal to physical
+ * addresses (around 0), not above PAGE_OFFSET as most code expects
+ * (eg. 0xC0000000). Jumps are relative, so they're OK, but we can't touch any
