38f20cc3c4 feat: proper IPC-based boot — init loads servers from storage via IPC, VirtIO GPU driver
Complete microkernel boot pipeline: adapter loads only init + storage + display
from disk. Init bootstraps all other servers by reading binaries from the
storage server via IPC, parsing ELF, creating processes, mapping pages, and
spawning threads.

New syscalls:
- CreateEndpoint: userspace endpoint creation with full capability grant
- DebugPutchar: debug output to UART from userspace
- MapPage: cross-process page mapping (init loads binaries into children)
- SpawnThreadIn: spawn thread in another process via capability

Key fixes:
- Per-process L1 page tables for VPN[2]=0 (prevents cross-process corruption)
- Separate kernel_pt from page_tables[0] (init pid=0 overwrote kernel PT ref)
- Thread Running state set in switch_to_next (syscalls rejected without it)
- Pending IPC results applied during context switch
- SIE disabled during boot (timer can't preempt into unready processes)
- User heap VA starts at 0x40000 (avoids shared buffer at 0x30000)
- RequestPages maps at user VAs via per-process heap allocator

VirtIO GPU:
- Adapter probes for GPU device, initializes resource/scanout/backing
- Display server writes to mapped framebuffer, flushes via GPU virtqueue
- 640x480 BGRA framebuffer with transfer-to-host and resource-flush

Storage server:
- Userspace VirtIO block driver using pre-mapped MMIO and DMA pages
- FAT16 filesystem reader serving file-read requests via IPC
- Shared buffer protocol: init writes filename, storage writes file data

Echo app for IPC testing (adapter-loaded echo proved the pipeline end-to-end).

d43c6a7e74 feat(adapter-riscv): load init from VirtIO block device with FAT16 filesystem
Adapter probes for VirtIO block device, reads init.elf from FAT16 disk,
parses ELF, maps into userspace, and launches. Falls back to embedded
minimal init if no disk is present.

Also: VirtIO MMIO driver, boot FAT16 reader, disk image build script,
Makefile targets for build/run/run-disk.
