This function initializes all the kernel features (including architecture-dependent features) before the kernel runs the first `init` process. You may remember as we built early page tables, identity page tables and fixmap page tables in the boot time. No compilcated memory management is working yet. When the `start_kernel` function is called we will see the transition to more complex data structures and techniques for memory management. For a good understanding of the initialization process in the linux kernel we need to have a clear understanding of these techniques.
