Multiboot

This is a multiboot (v1) library written entirely in rust. The code depends only on libcore.

How-to use

extern crate multiboot;

use multiboot::{Multiboot, PAddr};
use core::slice;
use core::mem;

pub fn paddr_to_slice<'a>(p: multiboot::PAddr, sz: usize) -> Option<&'a [u8]> {
    unsafe {
        let ptr = mem::transmute(p);
        Some(slice::from_raw_parts(ptr, sz))
    }
}

/// mboot_ptr is the initial pointer to the multiboot structure
/// provided in %ebx on start-up.
pub fn use_multiboot(mboot_ptr: PAddr) {
    unsafe {
        Multiboot::new(mboot_ptr, paddr_to_slice);
    }
}

Functionality is still not complete and patches are welcome!
