movl $1f

[sashti srinivasan]

Hello,
     I am sorry if my doubt is not appropriate here. 
A line from linux source is:

   movl $1f, %1 /*Save EIP*/

  May anyone explain me how this instruction saves
EIP?  (%1 is the structure member holding eip).  My
doubt is, what is this $1f and how it copies eip to
%1.

With Regards.
Srinivasan
