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

Attention to this type of stuff is what sets a good "Project" apart
from just a pile of code.
