Since 2eead36f97fa ("Run a hart lottery on SMP") the kernel is making
use of the 'amoadd.w' instruction, which requires the Zaamo
extension (included in the base A extension). This is notable and is
worth a mention on the list of requirements.

The QEMU_BIOS parameter was meant to help on old QEMU installations
which did not support the proper fw_dynamic workflow. That being said,
old QEMU versions might also not implement the proper SBI specification,
or it may have other unexpected issues.
Hence, just remove the option and force people to have a sufficiently
recent QEMU version.
Finally, I have updated the SVG showing off a QEMU run.

In order to run on real hardware, it's actually easier to re-use
workflows from existing bootloaders than loading things in memory
manually. In order to achieve this two things had to be settled:
1. The image has to have a Linux header as defined in the RISC-V port.
This header will be taken into consideration by bootloaders in order to
know where to jump, the image offset, the endianness of the image, etc.
2. The image cannot just be an ELF executable. Rather, we must translate
it into binary form via `objcopy`.
With all of this at hand, I was able to make the kernel run on a
Starfive VisionFive 2 board, and I have recorded an example so it's
available as documentation.

The dt parsing algorithm assumes that a little-endian system is in place
and hence most numbers on the DTB blob have to be converted from
big-endian to little-endian. I am not planning on changing that any time
soon, so let's add this as a requirement.

Bootstrap an init task which holds at least the initial stack that is to
be used when setting up the registers (such as `sp` and `tp`).
In order to guarantee that the stack and the rest of the registers are
set up correctly, this commit also provides a raw implementation of a
`printk` function.
Moreover, this commit also adds an argument that must be passed to
`start_kernel`, which is the pointer to the embedded `fdt` blob. This
argument will be used by later work so to fetch, at least, the base
address for the initial ram disk. This was also used to test that the
stack was working as expected.

Introduce a sample `foo` program which already calls the
`write_and_block` system call which is yet to be implemented by this
kernel. Moreover, the same CPIO format is used for the initramfs as with
Linux, so we can pass it with QEMU without worries.

Load the debug symbols into the gdb session by simply passing the
executable file into gdb directly. Moreover, allow users of the gdb
target to provide an extra variable so to pass extra flags to gdb.
Moreover, this commit comes with other small cleanups on the Makefile,
like a proper ABI specifier,

This will ensure that the code style is preserved and that commits being
pushed at least build successfully.

For now the base layout has been defined and we have a binary that is
properly reached through openSBI.
