Plan #1.
This plan is finished in PROLL ID02, works on MrCoffee.
We keep this document around as an education aid.

- SKIPPED Verify PROM (1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 1275, no PROM).
* Verify system type: MrCoffee, SPARCbook-1, Espresso
  = Done CPU
  - SKIPPED the rest - we build different images for different machines.
* Map ourselves from low memory into PROLBASE.
* Build trap tables
* Collect data about hardware (Memory amount & layout).
* Switch mappings to our own in low memory, sidestep PROM.
* Move itself out of kernel way:
  = Make low 1-to-1 mappings;
  = Find place in high memory, e.g. new base physaddr
  = Jump back low;
  = Map ourselves from high phys to high virt, flush TLB.
  = Copy ourselves up
  = Jump high
* Re build page tables, now located high
* Open interrupts ?
  - We did not need this yet, but perhaps in future...
* Set up romvec and device tree (openprom.c)
* Initiate the network - RARP/BOOTP/DHCP.
* Load kernel and jump
