paging.init now builds the physmap (physToVirt(phys)) alongside the low
identity map, so both addressing modes resolve during the transition.
tableAt (the page-table walk hinge), the pmm bitmap, the framebuffer,
LAPIC/IOAPIC/HPET/PM-timer/SPCR MMIO, the ACPI table walk, AML
OperationRegions, the ACPI power registers, the user-ELF frame fills,
and the AP trampoline arm/disarm all reach physical memory through the
physmap. Hal.mapMmio now maps into the physmap and returns the virtual
address, so the device layer never learns the layout. boot_info and its
pointees are converted at kmain entry. The kernel still links and runs
low; identity is the safety net until it's removed. Suite 27/27.

Ring 3 works: user GDT descriptors (sysret-ready layout), TSS.rsp0,
U/S-bit user mappings (W^X preserved), an int 0x80 syscall gate with a
mutable trap frame, and a setjmp-style enter/exit path. /sbin/init is a
real freestanding Zig binary built from sbin/, shipped on the ESP,
loaded by the bootloader (BootInfo.init_base/len), validated and mapped
by an in-kernel user-ELF loader, and run at CPL 3 — syscalls: exit,
ping, write. Tests: user, user-pf (U/S isolation proof, error code
0x5), init. Suite 27/27.

max_cpus, max_tasks, kernel/IST stack sizes, and timer_hz move from scattered constants into one config module. root.zig goes back to being just the boot contract. Values unchanged; any can become a -D build option later.
Hoist max_cpus into danos (root.zig), raise it to 128, and stop reserving a static [max_cpus][16 KiB] IST array. Only the BSP's IST stack is static (needed before the allocator); each AP's is heap-allocated when it comes online. Shrinks the kernel from ~1.1 MB to ~139 KiB in ReleaseSmall.
Adds paging.isExecutable and arch.trampolinePage; the smp case now asserts the frame is zeroed and non-executable after bring-up. Teeth-checked against a no-op disarm.
Arm the low frame (copy blob, make executable) only while a core climbs, then zero it and restore RW+NX; the frame stays reserved so cores can be re-woken. startSecondary is one re-runnable attempt; boot retries a non-responding core 3x. Validated the retry path by forcing a first-attempt failure.
