Looks very cool. I'm curious about your decision to use ELF images. This
makes it much less conveinient to use due to the kernel postprocessing, and
makes it that the kernel binary from which you initially boot is not
necessirily the same as the binary that you re-boot into.
Wouldn't it be more reasonable to simply try to exec whatever file is provided?
If the concern is initrds; they can be simply pasted into the kernel binary.
