Video mode initialization and transition to protected mode

This is the third part of the `Kernel booting process` series. In the previous [part](linux-bootstrap-2.md#kernel-booting-process-part-2), we stopped right before the call of the `set_video` routine from the [main.c](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/boot/main.c#L181). In this part, we will see:

As i wrote above, we will start from the `set_video` function which defined in the [arch/x86/boot/video.c](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/boot/video.c#L315) source code file. We can see that it starts by first getting the video mode from the `boot_params.hdr` structure:
```C
```c
u16 mode = boot_params.hdr.vid_mode;
```

Now we can move directly to video mode initialization. We stopped at the `RESET_HEAP()` call in the `set_video` function. Next is the call to `store_mode_params` which stores video mode parameters in the `boot_params.screen_info` structure which is defined in the [include/uapi/linux/screen_info.h](https://github.com/0xAX/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/screen_info.h).
If we will look at `store_mode_params` function, we can see that it starts with the call to `store_cursor_position` function. As you can understand from the function name, it gets information about cursor and stores it.
<<<<<<< HEAD
First of all `store_cursor_position` initializes two variables which has type - `biosregs`, with `AH = 0x3` and calls `0x10` BIOS interruption. After interruption successfully executed, it returns row and column in the `DL` and `DH` registers. Row and column will be stored in the `orig_x` and `orig_y` fields from the the `boot_params.screen_info` structure.

After `store_cursor_position` executed, `store_video_mode` function will be called. It just gets current video mode and stores it in the `boot_params.screen_info.orig_video_mode`.
After this, it checks current video mode and sets the `video_segment`. After the BIOS transfers control to the boot sector, the following addresses are for video memory:

We can see the last function call - `go_to_protected_mode` in the [main.c](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/boot/main.c#L184). As the comment says: `Do the last things and invoke protected mode`, so let's see these last things and switch into the protected mode.
