FWIW, I have looked to the code, and I'm a bit suspicious about the
following. The value of the second sector of stage2 is kept, by
stage1_5.c, finally via disk_read_func, and passed via chain_stage2 which
is defined in "asm.S". This value is moved in %ebp :

/* set up to pass the second sector of stage2 */
        movl    0xc(%esp), %ebp

and finally, another function is called :

call    EXT_C(prot_to_real)

But we have the following comment before real_to_prot and prot_to_real :

/*
 *  These next two routines, "real_to_prot" and "prot_to_real" are
 *  structured
 *  in a very specific way.  Be very careful when changing them.
 *
 *  NOTE:  Use of either one messes up %eax and %ebp.
 */

So...
