But
also for luis, it's not just about performance, it's about interface.
of course there's always hack value, but it also might be useful.
like many people would expect printf() or write() to stdout instead of
cputs(). i don't think there's a better or worse interface, but there's
a standard.

of course, cmiiw, as noone has answered the text location thing, i
think they have separate address space (without protection?). so
the kernel has 16k max, and for 16k for programs. and 16k is
surprisingly large.
but i also doing some moving for some stuff from the kernel into libc.
and just to be safe, i'm using -O instead of -O2 just to get early
warning if i cross the 16k limit.

| Hello, (...) No they don't have a separate address space. I think the limit is 19456 bytes for the kernel, and this is caused by a limitation of the ROM, which is used to download the firmware (kernel). It loads it to the address range 8000-cc00. (...)
