The code is written in K&R C, although header files do provide function
prototypes if __STDC__ is defined. See <linuxmt/types.h>

Header files can be found as follows:

<linuxmt/xxx.h>	[source]/include/linuxmt/xxx.h
<arch/xxx.h>	[source]/arch/i86/include/xxx.h	(include/arch is a symlink
						to this directory)

ints are 2 bytes. To work with K&R compilers you can't assume that type
conversion of function arguments will take place - so you must cast ints to
longs and vice versa if necessary.

CALLING CONVENTIONS

bcc pushes parameters right-to-left. Hence when a function is entered the
stack looks like this:

               ---+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----
                  | ret addr  |  param 1  |  param 2  | ...
               ---+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----
                     ^
                    sp

The normal entry code would then do PUSH BP; MOV BP,SP which leaves:

   ---+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----
      |  old bp   | ret addr  |  param 1  |  param 2  | ...
   ---+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----
         ^
       sp,bp

so parameters can be accessed as [bp+4], [bp+6] etc. (The 8086 does not have
an [sp+const] addressing mode)

*** THE FOLLOWING NEEDS TO BE CHECKED! ***

The function return value is in AX. Functions are expected to preserve only
the following registers when they return:

        BP, DI, SI

Additionally, BCC assumes that DS=ES=SS, so any function which alters these
needs to restore them before returning.

BCC _can_ be switched (-Mf) so that the first parameter is in AX, and that
SI/DI are saved by the caller not the callee. However since there is much
machine code which assumes the default behaviour, this should be left alone.
