Could you please send your .config? These early boot problems are sometimes build
and Kconfig environment sensitive.

A high level description of your hardware and the distro you are using would also
be useful.

Kirill, I'm curious about this change:

- /* Calculate address we are running at */
- call 1f
-1: popl %edi
- subl $1b, %edi
+ /* Calculate address of paging_enabled() once we are executing in the
trampoline */
+ leal paging_enabled - trampoline_32bit_src + TRAMPOLINE_32BIT_CODE_OFFSET(%ecx), %eax

Here we change the calculation from a "discover where we are executing" method to
a calculation method (which is fundamentally more fragile) - why?

Thanks,

Ingo
