/* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text

	Note that the code in the .init section has already been run.
	This includes _init and _libc_init


	At this entry point, most registers' values are unspecified, except:

   a1		Contains a function pointer to be registered with `atexit'.
   		This is how the dynamic linker arranges to have DT_FINI
		functions called for shared libraries that have been loaded
		before this code runs.

   sp		The stack contains the arguments and environment:
   		0(sp)			argc
		4(sp)			argv[0]
		...
		(4*argc)(sp)		NULL
		(4*(argc+1))(sp)	envp[0]
		...
