- the prototype changes to
_cpuid(u32_t *eax, u32_t *ebx, u32_t *ecx, u32_t *edx)
- this makes possible to use all the features of the cpuid instruction as
described in the Intel specs
- local APIC timer used as the source of time
- PIC is still used as the hw interrupt controller as we don't have
enough info without ACPI or MPS to set up IO APICs
- remapping of APIC when switching paging on, uses the new mechanism
to tell VM what phys areas to map in kernel's virtual space
- one more step to SMP
based on code by Arun C.
