With a few more changes, on a Cortex-A platform, Kernel reached
maximum it can proceed w/o user space help, i.e. upto,

"Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found."

Creating user space executables suitable for Cortex-A !MMU is the
distance to reach prompt.

Seems no !MMU A-class suitable toolchains are available, the existing
!MMU toolchains available are for either M or R class. Looks like
FDPIC one's also are so (cc'ing Maxime & Mickeal in case they have
some input here).

And compiling a suitable compiler failed.

Let know if any signposts to travel the remaining distance.

PS: Version used was v2 instead of this v3 series.
