C1	Set up boot strap processor Information
C2	Set up boot strap processor for POST
C5	Enumerate and set up application processors
C6	Re-enable cache for boot strap processor
C7	Early CPU Init Exit
0A	Initializes the 8042 compatible Key Board Controller
0B	Detects the presence of PS/2 mouse.
0C	Detects the presence of Keyboard in KBC port.
0E	Testing and initialization of different Input Devices. Also, update the Kernel Variables.Traps
	the INT09h vector, so that the POST INT09h handler gets control for IRQ1. Uncompress
	all available language, BIOS logo, and Silent logo modules.
13	Early POST initialization of chipset registers.
24	Uncompress and initialize any platform specific BIOS modules. GPNV is initialized at this
	checkpoint.
30	Initialize System Management Interrupt.
2A	Initializes different devices through DIM. See DIM Code Checkpoints section of document
	for more information.
2C	nitializes different devices. Detects and initializes the video adapter installed in the system
	that have optional ROMs.
2E	Initializes all the output devices.

	initialization. Initialize language and font modules for ADM. Activate ADM module.
33	Initializes the silent boot module. Set the window for displaying text information.
37	Displaying sign-on message, CPU information, setup key message, and any OEM specific
	information.
38	Initializes different devices through DIM. See DIM Code Checkpoints section of document
	for more information. USB controllers are initialized at this point.
39	Initializes DMAC-1 & DMAC-2.
3A	Initialize RTC date/time.
3B	Test for total memory installed in the system. Also, Check for DEL or ESC keys to limit
	memory test. Display total memory in the system.
3C	Mid POST initialization of chipset registers.
40	Detect different devices (Parallel ports, serial ports, and coprocessor in CPU, ?? etc.)
	successfully installed in the system and update the BDA, EBDA??etc.
50	Programming the memory hole or any kind of implementation that needs an adjustment in
	system RAM size if needed.
