ELF Kernel Size

This isn't really a problem... as the kernel _works_
But there is a ~4k block between the elf header and the actual entry point.
It bothers me...
I've looked everywhere - the ld script, multiboot.h, my kernel startup code - nothing.

Well... it IS the ld-script. I now know thats the culprit... I just have no clue HOW to fix it...
