+ 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?

+ No real point having multiple different levels of assertions, just say
you assert something and be done with it
|
|
+ Had some minor issues with a wraparound of size_t that effectively
meant that some regions were allocated twice. Also, booting should be
a bit more reliable now, turned out that the previous iteration of the
booting was just accidentally working due to the kernel being placed
'close enough' in RAM to where it was linked to. Fixed by allocating a
vmem of O1 that maps the kernel to a 2MiB boundary at boot, pretty
nifty.

+ dbg_fdt() is apparently broken, possibly due to UB or something, but
it causes some issues with optimizations enabled. Remove it
temporarily

+ Slightly more overhead but will help track down possible memory leaks
in the future. Could also add in a flag for turning off/on but I don't
think the difference in performance is that significant.

+ The system is now a bit simpler and hopefully easier to understand, while also
extending the shared memory to be 1:N, where there is one owner who
may become a zombie while waiting for the N to die.

+ 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.

+ I keep starting to type src and wondering why autocomplete won't work,
I guess src is just uncounciously a better name
