## ExectOS Ideas
This is a list of ideas that migh but not must be realized.
### XTLDR
- [ ] Rewrite memory mapping and paging support in bootloader to make it more flexible and architecture independent.
This should support paging levels, thus allowing to make a use of PML5 on modern AMD64 processors and increasing
the addressable virtual memory from 256TB to 128PB.
- [ ] Find graphics card from all PCI devices and identify its framebuffer address when GOP is not supported by UEFI
firmware and UGA has to be used instead.
### XTOSKRNL
- [ ] Implement mechanism for detecting CPU features and checking hardware requirements. If CPU does not meet
requirements, it should cause a kernel panic before any non-supported instruction is being used.
