    x86 CPUs start up in 16-bit mode, even if they are 32-bit CPUs. This code
    must be placed at a particular address. This entry holds that code. It is
    typically placed at offset CONFIG_SYS_X86_START16. The code is responsible
    for changing to 32-bit mode and jumping to U-Boot's entry point, which
    requires 32-bit mode (for 32-bit U-Boot).

    For 64-bit U-Boot, the 'x86_start16_spl' entry type is used instead.
