ipl.S is way to early.  

The descriptor table in start32.inc is the primary canidate.

But actually switching descriptor tables and having the
whole thing being a loadable ELF image is probably better.  But those
details are something we can worry about when someone has working
code.

My hunch is the problem goes deeper than just calling a 16bit 
entry point but we will see.
