I've had less time available this past week, but much of my efforts have 
been focused on gathering more information.  I have been working on 
coming up with a plan for how to deal with the kernel being (possibly) 
non-contiguous in memory, due to the use of the EFI allocation functions.

The more I investigate, the more attractive the solution of allocating 
the entire space for the kernel all in one request begins to seem.  It 
certainly works as a temporary solution, but I'm at a loss to find any 
downside at this point.  I will pose the question to hackers@ this week

Aside from this, I've been experimenting with building and running 
simple "hello world" EFI programs on the TianoCore/QEMU platform, in 
order to gain more working knowledge.

Lastly, I added some work in progress code that wraps a boot loader in 
an HFS+ filesystem so that an Apple machine will boot it.


My plans for this week are to decide how to deal with the non-contiguous 
kernel issue, and to get to the point of running the i386 loader.efi on 
QEMU/TianoCore.
