+ * This file was created from information in the Intel MPS version 1.4

+ * General limitations of this code:
+ *
+ * (1) : This code has never been tested on an MPS-compatible system with
+ * 486 CPUs, but is expected to work.
+ * (2) : Presumes "int", "long", and "unsigned" are 32 bits in size, and
+ * that 32-bit pointers and memory addressing is used uniformly.
