I had to add this incremental patch to get it to compile:

The 2nd lret is reached (just before _AsmTransferControl_al_0001), but then the CPU goes off in the woods. For a while it seems to be spinning who knows where, and in 15-20 seconds or so the guest reboots.

Does gas support mode switches in one file? I found examples on the net (for nasm I think) where people were thunking to real mode and back to protected mode in a single assembly file, and they could use native mnemonics for each part. (They just switched the assembler's mode in sync with execution modes.)
