# The upper 32 bits of the general purpose registers are *undefined* after
# switching into 64-bit mode (Intel Manual, Vol 1, 3.4.1.1 "General-Purpose
# Registers in 64-Bit Mode"). The lower 32 bits are preserved from 32-bit
# mode. Any registers whose value we wish to retain must have its upper 32
# bits masked off. Assigning a register to itself in a 32-bit operation will
# zero the upper 32 bits. The only register the below code assumes is
# retained is the stack register (esp/rsp).
mov %esp, %esp
# Switch ds, es, fs, gs, ss to the kernel data segment (0x10).

movw %cx, %ds
