Description
Hi. Overall, I am impressed with this project, and I am in great admiration. But I have a question, are there any plans to create a bootloader for other processor architectures, e.g. AARCH64, RISC-V? I'm not saying right away that in this repository, maybe a separate bootloader in a separate repository? If such an idea was possible, could I help in some way?
Thank you in advance for your answer and best regards. 😊

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by reviewing the repository's current x86 bootloader scope and how architecture support is organized. Before implementation, clarify whether AARCH64 or RISC-V belongs in this repository or a separate one, and define the intended architecture scope and acceptance criteria.
