I think selfboot could be reworked (and should be) to interpret "0" as "somewhere useful"?
Seems like a good idea.
And then the entry point also needs to be fixed somehow: Jumping to 0xffffffe000000000 without pagetables won't work.
Why is the kernel being loaded at 0?
As far as I understand it, it's because Linux's linker script[0] doesn't set a physical address. (It sets the virtual address to PAGE_OFFSET, which is 0xffffffe000000000 in the kernels that I have built.)
