Jan's been dabling in Linux assembly; the article gets into the meat and
potatoes of the upcoming kernel. Info like this will eventually allow (me)
to understand how to use entries like these, found in /System.map.... 
0010017f t check_x87
001001aa t setup_idt
001001c7 t rp_sidt
001001e0 t setup_paging
00101000 T swapper_pg_dir
00102000 T pg0
00103000 T empty_bad_page
00104000 T empty_bad_page_table
There are 3200 lines of this stuff. I can only wonder what it's for and
how to use it... Do you suppose it's a MAP to the kernel routines?  ;-)
There's a friend of yours up there: setup_idt
