Why This File Exists
CPU and platform-specific kernel glue: boot entry, traps, syscall entry, interrupts, page tables, context switch, and low-level barriers.

# Hack -- if someone passes in (size_t)-1, hoping to just
# search til the end of the address space, we will overflow
# below when we find the address of the last byte. Given
# that we will never have a 56-bit address space, cropping
# the length is the easiest way to avoid trouble.

- Immediate include surface: `linux/export.h`.
- Detected declarations: `export memchr`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/alpha.
- Implementation status: integration implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
