Thank you for your contribution!

I'm not sure if we should adopt this example: This example goes way beyond what's needed to get started in setting up a small kernel with the bootloader. I'm not sure if we want this repo to serve as a place for various examples of next-steps one could take in kernel dev.

Perhaps this is better suited for thex2apic crate. Maybe it could live in its own repo entirely.

Hi there, thank you a lot for taking the time to look into this
I do understand that it might be a bit complex for a small kernel, but these were what I needed to port the 0.9 blog version to the 0.11 current version and would have liked to have had them just be available somewhere so I can read thru them. I do find that especially some of the structs that hold all the values are unnecessary for a small startup and would be more than happy to remove them along side any otherfuture proofing

It doesn't have to be in this repo, but it is actually a very cool idea to have various examples of next steps. It would be very helpful. There are many people who are followinghttps://os.phil-opp.com/, are done reading edition-2, are done reading edition-3 so far, and are figuring out how to do things rather than waiting for more stuff in edition-3. It would be very helpful if there was a place where people could share examples with each other.

Agree about various examples! It'd be nice if we could curate a list of other projects based onhttps://os.phil-opp.com/ that go beyond the blogs. Maybe a simple discussion thread on the original repositoryhttps://github.com/phil-opp/blog_os/discussions ?

PS: Would love to see a more minimal version of this in any way be it this repository, theblog_os project or anywhere else. This was really helpful to me. Thanks@Radu-Voinea
