Even if people wouldn't normally run init (the scripts, not /sbin/init I'm
assuming), there's an error here that I'd like to fix. I'm expecting it's just
that a string got mangled while being copied around so I shouldn't even have to
dreg kernel innards to fix it.

There are few things that are next. The first thing I'd like to do, after fixing
the apparent issues with the output below, is to go back and fix up the two
hacks I'm aware of that I have in my tree. The first is handling TLB misses
more cleanly. The second is that my syscall tracer is still just stuck to the
side of the exec tracer, but that should be mostly mechanical to correct.

After that, I'd like to take care of the unimplemented instructions which are
being skipped/warned about, support checkpointing, set up a golden model to
compare execution against somehow, start working on 32 bit support in SE, and
work on propagating my new message based interrupt scheme into the other ISAs.
I'd also like to try other kernel versions/compiles with other config options
to see what errors those expose.

Beyond that, in no particular order, I'd like to work on some sort of BIOS/boot
loader set up so I can boot all the way from power on to power off, add minimal
ACPI support, fill out my SMBios table, add a simple graphics device of some
sort, and try to tighten up performance. Performance might actually be
something to work on earlier since it would make all the other work a little
more palatable. There are stretch marks on the simple CPU specifically from the
microcode stuff but also unaligned memory accesses which I'd like to address at
some point.
