[Feature Request] - Initial Boot Record support #8

Description

@biggestsonicfan

Greetings,

So I was talking with @DrItanium regarding my disassembly, and they mentioned that the beginning of i960 executable is something called an "Initial Boot Record".

For example this is taken from an .exe:

This is taken from a PS3 .elf executable:
Screenshot_20220213_005934

This is an example of an i960 Initial Boot Record provided by DrItanium:

DrItanium goes on to state that a specific example of the Initial Boot Record for the 80960 KX architecture can be found in the NINDY source code file kx_init.s.

For that matter, I think a lot of what's shown in the KX_INIT.S file could (should) be implemented in the disassembly if it's common to basically all 80960 architecture. Granted this could be quite the feat to implement, I feel it would be beneficial for research purposes.
