Bare metal programming sandbox

This repo is a sandbox for experimenting with bare metal code and other low-level programming concerns.

This repo contains the following executables:

• gamarjoba_munde - x86-64 linux binary that prints the text "Gamarjoba, Munde"
• baremetal_gamarjoba - bare-metal x86 program run with QEMU
• keyboard - reads keycode information from keyboard. Also uses both Rust and C includes.
• lightshow - NOTE: Broken - an attempt at a substantial #[no_core] rust object file, currently crashes rustc
• rust_kernel - me following the 2015 version of the Phil Opp rust bare metal tutorial. Kept around for posterity
