Research direction

Start by locating the openhcl_boot entry point and any existing docs or diagrams about how it lays out memory for OpenHCL. Document the complete memory layout and how openhcl_boot constructs it, with a diagram if appropriate; the work is done when the layout is understandable from the documentation.
