Isn't the real blocker for a multi-system kernel the Load Address? I know w/
the different SGI system most of the kernels load at a different address. Is it
possible to encode all of these in a way that each system could detect them, or
would we need some kind of stub loader ala arcload that'd have to be pre-pended
onto the image to handle that for us?
