We still keep the required main func in stub.go to prevent the compiler
from optimizing the code out. We also force the compiler not to inline
the call to kernel.Kmain so we can find the symbol in the generated .o
file.
Since the actual size of each memory entry is not known in advance
(bootloaders may append additional information to it) but needs to be
queried off the memory map tag header we cannot reserve space for it as
no memory allocation is yet available.
Instead, a visitor pattern was implemented to allow the memory
manager initialization block to easily mark the appropriate pages as reserved
The terminal uses console.Vga as its output device. A proper terminal
implementation would be using a console.Console interface as its output.
However, at this point we cannot use Go interfaces as the fn pointers in
the itables have not been yet initialized. The Go runtime bits that set
up the itables need access to a memory allocator, a facility which is
not yet provided by the kernel.
