In the "Tour of the Linux kernel source" section there is
reference to boot/head.S. I did a find on the source, this 
is a list of the "head.S"'s in the source:

./arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S
./arch/i386/kernel/head.S
./arch/alpha/boot/head.S
./arch/alpha/kernel/head.S
./arch/sparc/kernel/head.S
./arch/mips/kernel/head.S
./arch/ppc/kernel/head.S
./arch/ppc/boot/compressed/head.S
./arch/m68k/kernel/head.S

Obviously, there is a different one for each architecture. 
But which version for the i386 architecture is being 
refered to here, and what's the difference?
