Kevin O'Connor5c4a8c62008-05-12 23:50:16 -040024Look into ways to reduce stack usage. Alter ISRs so that they do not
25enable irqs. Only call out to other bios functions after minimizing
26stack usage.
Kevin O'Connor2ad37442008-05-06 19:49:01 -040027
Kevin O'Connor7a558e42008-03-11 20:38:33 -040028Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is
29setup properly with respect to irqs.
Kevin O'Connor44c631d2008-03-02 11:24:36 -050030
Kevin O'Connored128492008-03-11 11:14:59 -040031Audit statements where a 32bit intermediary changes meaning of a 16bit
32comparison.
33
Kevin O'Connor63dbcfb2008-03-01 22:17:07 -050034Code assumes ebda segment is static - it doesn't read 0x40e.
35
Kevin O'Connorb8aacb02008-03-01 14:56:07 -050036The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this
37is unnecessary.

Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050048
49Allow one to select adding 32 bit code to 0xf000 or in a separate
50location.
51
Kevin O'Connor65e63422008-07-19 14:12:32 -040052See if it is possible to handle interrupts while in 32bit mode.
