Here is a list of all modules with brief descriptions:

[detail level 12]

▼NACPI	Abstracts the ACPI standard that provides interfaces for hardware detection, device configuration, and energy management
►NMADS
NAPIC	Information about the (extended) Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
NApplicationProcessor	Application Processor Boot

NNMI
▼NCore	Implements an abstraction for CPU internals
NInterrupt	Exception and Interrupt control
CCR	Access to the Control Register
►CMSR	Access to the Model-Specific Register (MSR)
NCSU	C StartUp (CSU) required by the compiler and provided by the c standard library
▼NFPU	For the sake of simplicity we call it just FPU, although this is for MMX and SSE as well
▼NGDT	Abstracts the GDT that, primarily, contains descriptors to memory segments
▼NIDT	"Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT)
