As I wrote in the draft, a boot loader should sort the memory map. An OS image 
must deal with an unsorted memory map, because the wording is "should", but 
it is still user-friendly (especially for debugging).

This should be moved to an arch-specific finalization function. Honestly, I 
prefer that this is done by disk drivers automatically when unloading, but 
some people seem to like giving up unloading modules.
