Guys,

I started working on the ski port today. I have it compiling, but
not linking. I have to implement the FreeBDS syscalls first. A
thought struck me: what if I, instead of implementing most syscalls
so that ski can be used for user processes, I implement an EFI
interface first?

We're currently not really interested in userland code, so we're
going to run ski in "raw" mode anyway. I should be able to hack
something together that allows us to work on a real EFI bootloader.
With a combination of fake and real ACPI entries we should be able
to boot a kernel as if it was running on real hardware, right?

Thoughts?
