Actual transition into protected mode

This is the end of the `go_to_protected_mode` function. We loaded IDT, GDT, disable interruptions and now can switch the CPU into protected mode. The last step is calling the `protected_mode_jump` function with two parameters:
```C
protected_mode_jump(boot_params.hdr.code32_start, (u32)&boot_params + (ds() << 4));
```

which is defined in [arch/x86/boot/pmjump.S](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/boot/pmjump.S#L26). It takes two parameters:
* address of protected mode entry point
* address of `boot_params`
Let's look inside `protected_mode_jump`. As I wrote above, you can find it in the `arch/x86/boot/pmjump.S`. First parameter will be in `eax` register and second is in `edx`.

First of all we put address of `boot_params` in the `esi` register and address of code segment register `cs` (0x1000) in the `bx`. After this we shift `bx` by 4 bits and add address of label `2` to it (we will have physical address of label `2` in the `bx` after it) and jump to label `1`. Next we put data segment and task state segment in the `cs` and `di` registers with:

As you can read above `GDT_ENTRY_BOOT_CS` has index 2 and every GDT entry is 8 byte, so `CS` will be `2 * 8 = 16`, `__BOOT_DS` is 24 etc.
