 * Glbl vars in $FG,2$AOT$FG$ BIN modules are initialized to zero.  They occupy space in BIN files.
 
-* If you use floats in your interrupt routine, save and restore the fpu state with $LK,"Fxsave",A="MN:Fxsave"$() and $LK,"Fxrstor",A="MN:Fxrstor"$().  The timer interrupt does this.  The keyboard and mouse don't use floats.

 * Bracketing code with $FG,2$PUSHFD CLI$FG$ and $FG,2$POPFD$FG$ will protect against simultaneous accesses from tasks on $UL,1$one$UL,0$ core.  To protect against multiple cores, you need a locked semaphore.  I think semiphores need to be in their own cache line, but I'm not sure.  I use lock bits in a lot of places not aligned.
 
 * $LK,"SysDbg",A="MN:SysDbg"$() and $LK,"IsSysDbg",A="MN:IsSysDbg"$() are really handy when working on the compiler or kernel.  It's just a bit you can set and test.
