2024-07-05allow booting with Qemu's -kernel flag directlyKimplul
+ 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.
2023-05-29start trying to boot on visionfive 2Kimplul
+ Not bootable quite yet. Among other things, I couldn't get the current starfive u-boot fork to boot, so try adding support for booting with precompiled u-boot via the `go` command. Initial testing with qemu shows that this should be possible, and if it works, might be useful in the (far) future with other slightly janky SBCs. Also, NS16550 is 8250-based, and I'm really only using the base 8250, so rename and add visionfive 2 uart to list of compatibles. Visionfive 2 is still completely untested.
2023-05-12fix LLVM compilationKimplul
+ RELEASE=1 doesn't work for some reason, though
2023-05-11arbitrary load address and RAM base detectionKimplul
+ Both kind of go hand in hand, made sense to do both at the same time. Some parts feel slightly hacky, the loader works by placing everything on the stack and avoiding global values. Still, seems to work?

2022-01-07Allow building with clangKimplul
+ Release mode is sort of broken, as lto doesn't work with linker relaxation and turning the relaxation off causes issues with the jump from init to kernel (as I've currently implemented it, could probably be fixed with a manual jump from assembly, I'll add it to my TODO list)
