I have decided to make use of U-Boot as the "ultra-exokernel"
underpinnings of PerlOS. It has what I need:
* Boot and setup/init of hardware resources (CPU stuff in particular)
* Interrupt and exception handling
* Compressed ramdisk handling
* Heap allocation
* Load and execution of initial code via simple pointer
I had initially looked at using the MIT exokernel, but it isn't in
very good shape as far as a build system is concerned and I have
experience using U-boot in a past life.
Onward....
