I have a question about this, relating to what the free pascal compiler can 
actually do ?

Does free pascal compiler actually implement and support the entire x86 
instruction set/registers ?

Since "application space" is different from "kernel space".

For example:

asm
    // full instruction set support possible ?

end;
