Kernel initialization process

You will see here a couple of posts which describes full cycle of the kernel initialization from the first steps after kernel decompressed to starting of the first process runned by kernel.

• First steps after kernel decompressed - describes first steps in the kernel.
• Early interupt and exception handling - describes early interrupts initialization and early page fault handler.
• Last preparations before kernel entry point - describes the last preparations before the call of the start_kernel.
