in schedule(), switch_to() macro changes esp to
the new process's stack. But, on exit frm schedule,
how come it does not get overwritten with ebp-24,
as the dissasembled code shows. The code was compiled
without the -fomit-frame-pointer.

pushl 508(%ecx)
jmp __switch_to
1: popl %ebp
popl %edi
popl %esi

jmp .L1180

.L1180:
leal -24(%ebp),%esp
popl %ebx
popl %esi
popl %edi
movl %ebp,%esp
popl %ebp
ret
