Need to get the memory allocation stuff worked out. I don't know how any of it works. :/

Implement kernel heap allocator (maybe not needed?)
Process memory allocation
Global Descriptor Table

Currently, the OS is able to enumerate the page lists provided by the bootloader. Next, it has to create its own page tables (levels 4 through 1), populate them with new page mappings, and then switch to the new page table, before it can begin allocating page table entries for processes.

It is important to note that the kernel must be able to create these structures on 4KiB boundaries.
