No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the bootloader's existing protocol support and the linked OSDev Stivale Bare Bones page, then define how stivale, stivale2, and multiboot2 should be supported. Done means each requested protocol can boot successfully with documented behavior.
