Hrmm.. I wasn't aware of that feature.. but it had crossed my mind.  (mostly in
the context that any bootloader would be like writing half the kernel again,
it's too bad I couldn't double-jump the kernel)

I might look into that..  Probably as an optional feature.. because it seems
like you would have to upgrade it occasionally as well.  But maybe a user could
let his kloader kernel bitrot longer.
