What about init phase?  The whole pre-payload is basically just a
per-subsystem init procedure.  Be it CPU, memory, pci cards, or
whatever.

I doubt anyone thinks that.  I'm sure that most of us are just happy
that someone _is_ thinking about these kind of things and actually
doing something.  This is exactly the type of info that a newbe needs.
 Attention to this type of stuff is what sets a good "Project" apart
from just a pile of code.
