what we might expect from future.... cdrdv2-public.intel.com/776648/x86s-EAS-v1-4-17-23-1.pdf

is it good? i think so.

what's tl;dr?

Massive ABI changes and removal of 32bit from a lot of places

that's a beefy read

hopefully they simplify some of the get the cpu into 64-bit mode bringup

looks like it when skimming the pdf

if they just pull out protected mode, etc, that would be nice

and probably not affect more than loader, and having to do the 64bit work that needs done anyway for arm

gosh, and finally not having dboot
