Hi, Thank you for the quick replies and the pointers. Hakan, thanks for the stub port — it's a solid foundation to build on. I've cloned your fork and will be replacing the stubs with working implementations step by step. Samuel, I'll check the bugaevc/wip-aarch64 branch for the multiboot approach. I'll send small patches as I go rather than sitting on a large branch.
