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

	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]
		...
					NULL

/*
   For uClinux it looks like this:

        argc            argument counter (integer)
        argv            char *argv[]
        envp            char *envp[]
        argv[0]         program name (pointer)
        argv[1...N]     program args (pointers)
        argv[argc-1]    end of args (integer)
	NULL
        env[0...N]      environment variables (pointers)
        NULL
