Clarify and fix various facts, and fix more typos than I can count.
...
- rep stosl reduces ecx by 1 per write operation, not 4. Source: http://www.fermimn.gov.it/linux/quarta/x86/rep.htm
- Clarification: The four Page Directory tables contain 2048 entries in total, not 2048 each. Source: http://wiki.osdev.org/Page_Tables#Long_mode_.2864-bit.29_page_map
- Registers can not contain %rip-relative addresses, since %rip changes every single instruction. Only the instructions themselves can contain RIP-relative addresses.
- The first argument to decompress_kernel is called rmode, not boot_param.
- The boot_params struct goes in %rdi, not %rsi. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions#System_V_AMD64_ABI
- find_random_addr does not ensure that the 'memory region is not less than value of kernel alignment'; it ensures the kernel is at or above the minimum load address.

Make links to other parts relative
...
Links to other parts had absolute URLs, so they were pointing to the
same page, regardless of where they were located. E.g. pages on gitbooks
links to github.
Make them relative, so they are pointing to the host on which the are
located.
