/* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
   segment.

	Note that the code in the .init section has already been run.
	This includes _init and _libc_init

	The stack pointer, sp, will point to the argument count on the stack.
	The initial state of the stack when a userspace process is started is:

	    Purpose			Start Address	Length
	    Unspecified			High Addresses
	    Referenced strings, etc.			Varies
	    Unspecified
	    Null auxilliary vector entry		4bytes
	    Auxilliary vector entries			8bytes each
	    NULL terminator for envp			4bytes
	    Environment pointers	sp+8+4*argc	4bytes each
	    NULL terminator for argv	sp+4+4*argc	4bytes
	    Argument pointers		sp+4		4bytes each
	    Argument count		sp		4bytes
	    Unspecified			Low Addresses

	If the application should register a destructor function with atexit,
	the pointer will be placed in r4. Otherwise r4 will be zero.

	The contents of all other registers are unspecified. User code should
	set fp to zero to mark the end of the frame chain.

	The auxilliary vector is a series of pairs of 32-bit tag and 32-bit
	value, terminated by an AT_NULL tag.
