+ Anything extern is right out as LLVM doesn't produce correct code for
  them. Maybe if I added some extra attributes but I'm skeptical.
  Replaced with static variables and getters/setters.

+ Inline ASM is apparently a bit buggy, so use an assembly stub when jumping to init.

+ Minimize work done in main() to minimize chance of LLVM doing something silly.
  Still not 100% certain that I shouldn't just write the main() as an assembly stub
  in arch/riscv64 to be absolutely sure everything works as intended.

+ Make .kernel.start section SHF_ALLOC, otherwise lld complains about
  pc-relative addressing

Probably some other stuff as well that I'm forgetting right now. But at least with
LLVM14 LTO seems to work, which is pretty cool?

+ Align kernel to 2MiB boundary in u-boot

+ Optimize alignment functions a little bit, should still have to check
  on real hardware but 'feels' more clean

+ Add early boot debugging

+ Put extra cores we aren't ready to account for to sleep if/when they
  boot.

+ Make BASE_PAGE_SIZE constant on riscv64/32, helps the compiler with
  some alignment checks among other things.

+ Took some fairly significant changes, for one the kernel is no longer
  relocated at the start of a boot, instead it sits wherever the user
  decides the kernel should sit. Similarly, the initial kernel stack and
  page table are stored within the binary, slightly bloating the size
  but making it much safer to boot since there's really no chance of us
  overwriting the fdt or initrd in memory.

+ Compiling for size emits memcpy() calls after they've already been
  removed by LTO, so add __used attribute to counteract this.

  Newer versions of GCC seem to prefer `-flto=auto` to just `-flto`, so
  use that.
