Subject: Don't clobber %esp highbits on C code entry.
X-Git-Url: http://wien.tomnetworks.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18f368edc5141b55efd11d9ca82e7e6ff5914a14;p=seabios.git

Don't clobber %esp highbits on C code entry.

Theoretically, %esp high bits could be set - the C code will use %esp
    (not %sp), so these bits need to be zeroed.  However, they can't
    be clobbered, so the entry code needs to save/restore it.
Also improve some comments in romlayout.S
