以
arm为例，分析一下kernel的启动过程;

@ switch to Thumb now.

setmode
PSR_F_BIT | PSR_I_BIT | SVC_MODE, r9 @ ensure svc mode
关闭普通中断，快速中断，使能svc模式
@ and irqs disab

p15, 0, r9, c0, c0
@ get processor id
获得芯片ID
bl
__lookup_processor_type
@ r5=procinfo r9=cpuid 获得处理器型号，r5 == id，#1
movs
r10, r5
@ invalid processor (r5=0)?
校验正确性，0错误
THUMB( it
eq )
@ force fixup-able long branch encoding
beq
__error_p
@ yes, error p
