SeaKernel
	A simple unix-like kernel designed for simplicity and speed, with
a nod towards research concepts. In it's current iteration, it is a
monolithic kernel with loadable module support.

Features Overview
-----------------
Some primary features include:
 * Kernel-level threading support (incomplete)
 * SMP support
 * Multiprocess scheduling (preemptive)
 * Unix-like syscalls and a standard C library support
 * Loadable and unloadable modules
 * ATA hard drives
 * ext4 file systems
 * access to devices via /dev filesystem
 * ELF binaries
 * user-mode protections
 * ix86 processors
 * unix style IPC

History
-------
SeaKernel was started in 2008 as a hobby, and went through several
different iterations and re-writes until its current iteration, which
was started in late 2011. Since then, it has seen an increase in 
complexity and features.

Usage Instructions
------------------
You need to have a cross compiler installed (typically i586-pc-seaos-gcc)
to build the kernel. This is built automatically by the SeaOS userspace
system, available on github (dbittman/sea). After initializing, The kernel 
will try to run a script in a ramdisk (sh /preinit.sh). The ramdisk should 
provide a minimum of a shell and the init script.

Build Instructions
------------------
Building is handled via gmake (make). The available targets are:
 - deps: generate Dependency information for the build system
 - skernel: build the kernel (requires deps to have been built)
 - modules: build all configured modules
 - initrd.img: build the initial ram disk
 - kernel: skernel, modules, and initrd.img
 - config: run the configuration system (interactive)
 - defconfig: generate the default configuration
 - clean: clean compiled files
 - distclean: clean everything
 - doc: generate documentation into human-readable format(s)
 - all: deps and kernel
 - install: install the kernel on a SeaOS system

Generally, a good order for this would be: make config all
