This way, we can put debugging instructions at the first byte of wakeup code, which is somehow important.

It sounds like you are running in real mode with code stored at some (unknown?) location in memory. The BIOS calls this code with IP=0 and CS=, which apparently doesn't fit your requirements. So just what are your requirements? The only possibilities I can think of are: Code stored at a particular location in memory; CS, IP, etc. initialized to some particular values. What am I missing?

I'm just explaining why data need to go at nonzero offset. Nothing to see here, move on ;-). > It sounds like you are running in real mode with code stored at some > (unknown?) location in memory.

See arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/wakeup.S (the version that was sent to the list). No problem there, but table stored at nonzero offset. Short jump at the beggining of table would fix it (ugly).
