***DISCLAIMER***: _These notes are from the defunct k8 project which_
_precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26!_
_The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such_
_all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no_
_longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it._

The only way I can see a class setup working is by not having a loader and
having the initial VM state hard coded into the kernel as a constant. There
would be enough of a setup to setup physical memory and initialize a garbage
collector. The first system setup must be statically initialized, with a stack
somewhere.
