I am not sure why initializing PhysAlloc after the mapping works, as the mapping functions seem to depend on it.
That is only true if there are no additional page tables (and thus physical frames) needed to perform the mapping. See Mapper::map_to_with_table_flags
We are also moving away from unrelocatable kernels. We now support relocatable GCC-based kernels: hermit-os/hermit-entry#37
