NULL pointer detection is done by making use of paging mechanism of CPU. During page table setup, if enabled, the first 4-K page (0-4095) will be marked as NOT PRESENT. Any code which unintentionally access memory between 0-4095 will trigger a Page Fault exception which warns users that there's potential illegal code in BIOS. This also means that legacy code which has to access memory between 0-4095 should be cautious to temporarily disable this feature before the access and re-enable it afterwards; or disalbe this feature at all.
