The `bootloader` crate defines a [`BootInfo`] struct that contains all the information it passes to our kernel. The struct is still in an early stage, so expect some breakage when updating to future [semver-incompatible] bootloader versions.

- The `memory_map` field contains an overview of the available physical memory. This tells our kernel how much physical memory is available in the system and which memory regions are reserved for devices such as the VGA hardware. The memory map can be queried from the BIOS or UEFI firmware, but only very early in the boot process. For this reason, it must be provided by the bootloader because there is no way for the kernel to retrieve it later. We will need the memory map later in this post. - The `memory_map` field contains an overview of the available physical memory.
