bhargav-j47/Dernel ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple custom x86 kernel in C that can boot and show that it is alive.

I want the project to compile cleanly with the existing build files and linker setup, and I want the code organized into a few clear folders for architecture specific code, shared headers, and small helper libraries. Make it easy to run in an emulator, and include the basic pieces needed for a kernel start up, like early initialization, memory layout handling, and a simple way to print a message so I know it booted.

Keep it straightforward and readable, since this is meant to be a learning project. If anything in the current setup looks incomplete, fill in the missing pieces in a sensible way and use the existing structure where possible. If you need current details for toolchain or emulator setup, look up the latest docs online.
