This is just a personal opinion, and maybye it is uneducated, but is there
really some reason for the kernel to be installed chmod 555, wouldn't 544
or even maybye 444 do (I'm not to familiar with the bootloader, I would
guess that it doesn't execute /kernel in the same way a coff binary is
executed so permissions probably don't matter hunh?)
