  • The kernel should support an abstracted in-memory read-write system.
  • Support an image format to be used as a source of this filesystem.
    The filesystem must be minimal enough to be included in a microkernel. One of:
    • tar
    • cpio
    • Roll your own
  • (Optionally) support copy-on-write on non-compressed data.
  • (Optionally) support zstd/zlib-compressed initrd. Not really a requirement, but would be very nice, because some platform have quite strict memory layout requirements on boot

Won't do: kernel will load an init program from a binary blob embedded inside the kernel itself. The init will then handle the rest.
