+ * This is the first truly architecture independent code that will be executed.
+ * It bootstraps the entire kernel core and drivers, and when done, spawns the
+ * init daemon.
+ * The arguments passed to this function are the kernel command line,
+ * as obtained by the bootloader.
+ *
+ * (that is, when it's finished at some point lmao)
