Kevin O'Connor | 5c4a8c6 | 2008-05-12 23:50:16 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | Look into ways to reduce stack usage. Alter ISRs so that they do not |
| 14 | enable irqs. Only call out to other bios functions after minimizing |
| 15 | stack usage. |

Kevin O'Connor | 7a558e4 | 2008-03-11 20:38:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is |
| 18 | setup properly with respect to irqs. |

Kevin O'Connor | 63dbcfb | 2008-03-01 22:17:07 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | Code assumes ebda segment is static - it doesn't read 0x40e. |
| 24 | |
Kevin O'Connor | b8aacb0 | 2008-03-01 14:56:07 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this |
| 26 | is unnecessary. |

Kevin O'Connor | 3f168b6 | 2008-11-29 13:22:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | protected mode. The BDA is technically at segment 0x0040 (not |
| 32 | 0x0000). |
