Hello. Asm helper functions for bsd aren't really needed. Actually BSD entry point may be called directly as cdecl function. With this approach theese helper functions don't take place in kernel anymore. Tested with freebsd, openbsd and netbsd. However my tests were limited to launching kernel and see if it complains about not being able to mount root. Can someone test it with complete system?
Thanks
