  I need to switch to real mode, to execute some boot code for non Linux/FreeBSD
systems. In digging around through OSKit, I see there is some support for
this, but it's undocumented, and I get errors when I try to call any
of the functions like i16_raw_switch_to_real_mode or i16_leave_pmode. 

  I also noticed these sections of the doc are just empty placeholders... 
Is it possible to switch to real mode, execute some code, and then return
to protected mode ? I'd sure think this was possible, but I couldn't see
how... (or any examples)
