+ 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.

+ Allow threads to make themselves become orphants

+ Should write this down somewhere but the idea is that when a process
gets killed, it frees all the memory it can, making all threads within
that process orphans. Orphaned threads are assigned to the init
process, which will generally call exit() on each one. Zombie threads
are threads that own some bit of shared data, and whose reference
count is above zero. They may not be swapped to or called, even though
they take up space in thread map and reserve their thread ID.

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