It is the end of the fifth part about linux kernel initialization process. In this part we continued to dive in the `setup_arch` function which makes initialization of architecutre-specific stuff. It was long part, but we not finished with it. As i already wrote, the `setup_arch` is big function, and I am really not sure that we will cover full of it even in the next part. There were some new interesting concepts in this part like `Fix-mapped` addresses, ioremap and etc... Don't worry if they are unclear for you. Soon there will be special parts about these themes which will cover them. In the next part we will continue with the initialization of the architecture-specific stuff and will see parsing of the early kernel parameteres, early dump of the pci devices, direct Media Interface scanning and many many more.

There is special part about these concepts - [Linux kernel memory management Part 2.](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/mm/linux-mm-2.md). In the next part we will continue with the initialization of the architecture-specific stuff and will see parsing of the early kernel parameteres, early dump of the pci devices, direct Media Interface scanning and many many more.
