when the fact is, we used to *not* cut corners, we used to *not* break the rules, and what we used to do (a short jump immediately after setting PE) was exactly what Intel always said you should do, and there is no question what-so-ever about it.


Apparently because the Intel documentation disagrees with itself. That's all.
