You should also take a look at minios/arch/x86/x86_64.S. It is
remarkably similar to linux/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S. Some
comments, macros names etc. are identical. It's obvious that both
files share a common ancestor, at least.
I used minios as a starting point to port a proprietary OS from a proprietary CPU to x86_64 on Xen at my last job, and we became concerned about whether this file was contaminated with GPL code.
