Description
The generated kernel prints virtual_addr, does it allow to disable virtual memory? Because implicitly adding these features makes a kernel not so lightweight.

Research direction
Start by tracing where the generated kernel prints virtual_addr and reviewing the bootloader's configuration options for virtual memory. Determine whether virtual memory is implicitly enabled and what disabling it would mean for a lightweight kernel. Done means providing a supported disable option or clearly documenting why it cannot be disabled.
