Please get rid of this silly rmode arg which gets passed in here as
boot_params and then gets assigned to an extern pointer to boot_params.
This is just silly. Just do what the other functions get from %r15 now
- a struct boot_params *bp arg.

But perhaps in a separate patch.

No need for that one. It'll return without it. :-)
