4.5.1.1 IA-32 Handoff State

When an IA-32 EFI OS is loaded, the system firmware hands off control to the OS in flat 32-bit

mode. All descriptors are set to their 4 GB limits so that all of memory is accessible from all

segments. The address of the IDT is not defined and thus it cannot be manipulated directly during

boot services.

Figure 4-1 shows the stack after ImageEntryPoint has been called on IA-32 systems.
