I was thinking that it would ease others looking into the issues.

That way one doesn't need apply my patch series first, or get
bootstrap program & config, make a HD image and boot that.

(I'll have patch series ready soon, I just document first few of
the kernel options I've found from kernel sources, which seem to
have some useful effect.  Maybe add also option to load kernel
debug symbols from file listed in config file along with the
kernel image file name.)

Except for the disassembly & memdump issue, it seems to works as well
as running Linux with bootstra.tos, so it shouldn't confuse people
more than running Linux using bootstra.tos.

I've put it into docs as "expert-only".

We can disable it before release if for some reason Linux booting
still doesn't fully work in Hatari by that time, although Linux boots
on real (Falcon) HW.

Ok.
