 Some high-level reasons for failure (listed roughly in order of execution)
 to load the init binary are:

 A) Unable to mount root FS
 B) init binary doesn't exist on rootfs
-C) broken console device

 Detailed explanations:

 A) Set "debug" kernel parameter (in bootloader config file or CONFIG_CMDLINE)

    E.g. some serial consoles are unreliable due to serial IRQ issues (e.g.

 Please extend this explanation whenever you find new failure causes

 Further TODOs:

 - Implement the various ``run_init_process()`` invocations via a struct array
   which can then store the ``kernel_execve()`` result value and on failure
   log it all by iterating over **all** results (very important usability fix).
