addq %rbp, level2_fixmap_pgt + (506*8)(%rip)
```
Here we need to correct `early_level4_pgt` and other addresses of the page table directories, because as I wrote above, kernel can't be run at the default `0x1000000` address. `rbp` register contains actual address so we add to the `early_level4_pgt`, `level3_kernel_pgt` and `level2_fixmap_pgt`. Let's try to understand what these labels means. First of all let's look on their definition:

In the next part we will see initialization of the early interruption handlers, kernel space memory mapping and many many more.
