Like many low-level things, CPUID is a bit strange. Instead of taking a parameter, the `cpuid` instruction implicitely uses the `eax` register as argument. To test if long mode is available, we need to call `cpuid` with `0x80000001` in `eax`. This loads some information to the `ecx` and `edx` registers. Long mode is supported if the 29th bit in `edx` is set. [Wikipedia][cpuid long mode] has detailed information.
