+ 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?

+ 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.

+ 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.

+ Also swap checks if thread is running

+ Sets the current core to sleep

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