-/*G:020 This is where we begin: head.S notes that the boot header's platform
- * type field is "1" (lguest), so calls us here.
+/*G:020 Our story starts with the kernel booting into startup_32 in
+ * arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S.  It expects a boot header, which is created by
+ * the bootloader (the Launcher in our case).
+ *
+ * The startup_32 function does very little: it clears the uninitialized global
+ * C variables which we expect to be zero (ie. BSS) and then copies the boot
+ * header and kernel command line somewhere safe.  Finally it checks the
+ * 'hardware_subarch' field.  This was introduced in 2.6.24 for lguest and Xen:
+ * if it's set to '1' (lguest's assigned number), then it calls us here.
  *
  * WARNING: be very careful here!  We're running at addresses equal to physical
  * addesses (around 0), not above PAGE_OFFSET as most code expectes
  * (eg. 0xC0000000).  Jumps are relative, so they're OK, but we can't touch any
- * data.
+ * data without remembering to subtract __PAGE_OFFSET!
  *
  * The .section line puts this code in .init.text so it will be discarded after
  * boot. */
