Things to Do:

• Scale heap to available memory
• Maybe convert NASM code into GNU AS
• Maybe convert C code into C++
• Maybe migrate to Clang
• Sort memory map with merge sort
• Stability
  • Solve triple fault with TSS.
  • Ensure static allocator doesn't overwrite modules, which GRUB loads immediately after the kernel.
  • Debugging facilities
    • Display strings, integers and pointers.
    • Dump the contents of the registers.
    • Dump the contents of memory as hex values.
    • Stack trace
      • Unwind stack frames (seems to get bad values; see src/debug/dump_stack.c).
      • Symbol lookup
        • Create symbol map (see tools/gensymtab).
        • Load symbol map
          • Load initial ramdisk
            • Define initial ramdisk (see include/kernel/initrd.h).
            • Create initial ramdisk.
            • Load initial ramdisk
          • Parse symbol map at ramdisk:/boot/kernel.map
        • Map addresses to symbols.
  • Write unit tests
  • Make functions reentrant
