    In the "Tour of the Linux kernel source" section there is
    reference to boot/head.S. I did a find on the source, this
    is a list of the "head.S"'s in the source:

    ./arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S
    ./arch/i386/kernel/head.S
    ./arch/alpha/boot/head.S
    ./arch/alpha/kernel/head.S
    ./arch/sparc/kernel/head.S
    ./arch/mips/kernel/head.S
    ./arch/ppc/kernel/head.S
    ./arch/ppc/boot/compressed/head.S
    ./arch/m68k/kernel/head.S

    Obviously, there is a different one for each architecture.
    But which version for the i386 architecture is being
    refered to here, and what's the difference?
